  • Facilitation of Information Transfer on Chemicals in Products
    Facilitation of Information Transfer on Chemicals in Products The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) developed ‘chemSHERPA’ [kémʃéərpə] as a new information transfer scheme for chemicals in products throughout their supply chains. METI hopes that the dissemination of chemSHERPA may contribute to reduce the workload of both providers and recipients of the information. From the beginning of the development of chemSHERPA, METI has been in communication with international bodies such as the IEC and the IPC, etc., with the aim of developing chemSHERPA into not only a Japanese standard but also an International standard. To make it a de-facto standard, METI has introduced this scheme to international organizations and governments of other countries for their active use. The Joint Article Management Promotion Consortium (JAMP) is a governing body for chemSHERPA from April 2016 and see a shift to chemSHERPA. We believe many companies are preparing towards implementing chemSHERPA. Based on the efforts mentioned above, the following companies and company groups have agreed with the dissemination of chemSHERPA, and METI will continue to work with JAMP and companies to spread the use of chemSHERPA to internal as well as external supply chains as needed.(Please contact us if any company or company group has interest in putting its name below.) It should be noted, the use of the provision of data entry support tools is free of charge in principle with the aim of promoting wider use of chemSHERPA.

Accordingly JAMP has a plan to finish renewing the substances list in the existing JAMP scheme by the end of March of 2018. We believe many companies will begin advance preparations towards implementing chemSHERPA. Based on the efforts mentioned above, the following companies and company groups have agreed with the dissemination of chemSHERPA, and METI will continue to work with companies to spread the use of chemSHERPA to internal as well as external supply chains.(Please contact us if any company or company group has interest in putting its name below.)

    To Our Shareholders The 75th Business Year Business Report ▲ April 1, 2020 March 31, 2021 MinebeaMitsumi Inc. Securities Code 6479 Business Summary As the Fiscal Year 2021 (April 1, 2020 - March 31, 2021) has ended, we would like to present our business summary. Yoshihisa Kainuma Representative Director June 2021 ■ Overview of the year During the fiscal year under review, the future of the Japanese economy remained uncertain. Although exports and consumption declined substantially due to the spread of COVID-19, the worst appears to be behind us as exports to the U.S. and China have rebounded. The U.S. economy slowed down due to COVID-19, but economic activity has since been recovering, including increased production in a wide range of industries. The European economy remains stagnant. Although the manufacturing industry is slowly recovering, lockdowns have been extended in conjunction with additional waves of COVID-19. In the Chinese economy, domestic demand recovered. For instance, automobile sales in China were back to a level prior to the spread of COVID-19, and exports also remained robust, particularly to the U.S. In Southeast Asia, the future remains uncertain due to the impact of restrictions on economic activities to curb infections of COVID-19. Working against this backdrop, the MinebeaMitsumi Group concentrated on cutting costs, creating high-value-added products, developing ■ Financial Highlights (Consolidated) Profit for the Year Attributable to Owners of the Parent / Net Sales Operating Income Earnings Per Share, Basic Profit

  • Joint-Venture Companies and Technology Transfer from the West
    INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS , INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND THE WEALTH OF NATIONS EBHA, 11 th Annual Conference, University of Geneva, 15 September 2007 Joint venture companies and technology transfer from the West to Japan: Citizen Watch Co and the Swiss watchmakers (1890-1940) Pierre-Yves DONZE Kyoto University / Swiss National Science Foundation Introduction Until the end of the 19th century, the main vehicles for technology transfer were the individuals and objects moving from one country to another. 1 Trips by engineers and merchants, the emigration of craftsmen and workers as well as trade in goods all provided means of acquiring new technical skills that led to industrial projects. Even though it did not entirely disappear, this mode of technology transfer gave way in the 1880s to a new driver that became widespread during the 20 th century: capital, in the form of either licensed manufacturing or foreign direct investment (FDI). 2 The adoption of a system for the international protection of patents, introduced when the major powers signed the Paris Convention in 1883, played a key role in this respect because it established a world market for technologies and a framework for their marketing.3 Japan provides an excellent illustration of an industrialization policy driven by technology transfer in which FDI has played a decisive role, making the country a textbook case for 1 JEREMY David J, (ed.), International Technology Transfer.

  • Commodity, Capital, and Commercial ELT: a Political Economy of Eikaiwa English Language Teaching
    Commodity, Capital, and Commercial ELT: A Political Economy of Eikaiwa English Language Teaching Doctoral Thesis William Simpson IOE – UCL (Applied Linguistics) Word Count: 95,882 1 Signed Declaration: I, William Simpson, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract: The aims of this research are threefold. Firstly, to understand how the drive for profit in commercial English language teaching (ELT) affects the manner in which language is taught. Secondly, to understand the how the various ways in which teachers are valued (monetarily in wages, valued as a ‘good’ teacher, and valued as an ‘authentic’ speaker of a language for example) interrelate with one another. Finally, the research aims to give an account of how teachers’ experiences of potential contradictions and tensions between commercial and pedagogic interests, and multiple forms of valuation, inform the way they understand themselves in relation to the economy and society more broadly. The research synthesises a body of research on political economy and language with Marxist political economy in order to understand commercial ELT through the moments of capital as value in motion: from the production and consumption of lessons, to the realisation of the lesson’s value in its sale, through to the distribution of this value in the form of wages. In focussing in on these moments throughout the circulation of capital, the research gives an account of the contradictory forces and interests at play within commercial eikaiwa – a form of ELT in Japan in which teachers are often precariously employed.
