Many industrial and export- processing zones as well as new residential areas were established, accelerating urbanization in HCMC. This paper aims to examine the impact of urbanization under the Doi Moi policy on the socio-economic and environmental conditions and lifestyle of the residents of HCMC. We conducted a sociological questionnaire survey in HCMC, interviewing members of 432 house- holds on their quality of life and lifestyle, and reviewing the recent economic development, the urban services and the urban environmental conditions of HCMC. Urbanization together with economic development has resulted in an improved standard of living. Privatization of public services and services diversified through the markets also contribute to this improvement, although issues of affordability remain. On the other hand, negative trends such as the expansion of social disparity and the deterioration of urban environments have continued, and new issues like traffic jams and urban flooding remain, limiting the possibility of improving quality of life in HCMC.

Path dependence and discontinuities, institutional change and organizational development including patent and securities systems and medical, scientific, and engineering publishing are of interest, along with technological innovation and market development linkages, geographic contexts and demographic change, and individual and institutional leadership. East-west linkages in the late 19th century occurred around developments including the Yugoslavian Nicola Tesla’s wireless wave transmission and Thomas Edison’s electrical generator and distribution systems, as uranium mining developed in the western United States and South Africa, as X-ray science and technology developed. Westinghouse, a competitor of GE’s, gained rights to Tesla’s alternating current motor technology, a technology apparently referred to, likely along with high-energy detonation, in New York Times stories about technology diffusion during the 1884 Philadelphia Electrical Exhibition, as the Sino-France conflict developed.1 The Paris 1 Michael Aaron Dennis, “Accounting for Research: New Histories of Corporate Laboratories and the Social History of American Science,” Social Studies of Science 17.3 (August 1987), 483.

  • Labor Relations and Industrial Adjustment in Japan and the United States: a Comparative Analysis
    Labor Relations and Industrial Adjustment in Japan and the United States: A Comparative Analysis Yoshihiro Tsurumi* There is a specter haunting America-the specter of industrial de- cline. Among the most controversial of the proposed responses to this problem is the development and implementation of a national industrial policy.' Unfortunately, the current industrial policy debate is misdi- rected. Frequently, for example, discussion focuses on the need for a national industrial policy to counteract an imagined conspiracy of Japa- nese competition.2 The decline of American industrial fortunes, how- ever, is internally generated-a direct result of the misguided and shortsighted policies of politicians and corporate executives. This article attempts to provide a conceptual framework for the crea- tion of an effective American industrial policy. Sections I and II outline the nature and scope of the difficulties facing American industry. The discussion then proceeds to consider the major actors in industrial rela- * Professor of International Business, Baruch College, City University of New York, and President of the Pacific Basin Center Foundation. Professor Tsurumi is a graduate of Keio University in Tokyo and the Harvard Business School (Ph.D.). 1. In general, the term industrial policy suggests a consistent, coordinated, and industry- specific government policy designed to facilitate a nation's industrial growth. Although advo- cates differ as to the details, an underlying core of ideas is identifiable. These include: the restructuring of managerial and labor practices, the targeting of government aid to selected industries, the retraining of unemployed or underemployed workers and the rebuilding of the nation's infrastructure.

This proposal calls for a change in the relationship between the Graduate Center, Baruch College and the Zicklin School of Business (Zicklin) with regards to its doctoral education in Business. (Baruch College appreciates the opportunity of having a joint PhD in Business.) As co-issuer of the degree, Baruch College foresees no change in the operations of the program and anticipates significant academic benefits for the future. This is a step in recognizing the significant role that Baruch College plays in doctoral education, and will minimize the confusion that exists among program applicants and employers in the academic marketplace as to whether Baruch College offers a PhD degree. The goal of this joint degree is to move the PhD program into Zicklin, so that the Business program would operate in a manner similar to other academic PhD programs at leading public universities in the United States and globally. The joint endeavor will add program identity to Zicklin, Baruch College and PhD studies in Business.
