  • The First Globalization and the US-East Asian Naofumi Nakamura∗
    The First Globalization and the US-East Asian Locomotive Trade: Focusing on Baldwin Locomotive Work and Frazar & Co. in Japan August 2021 ISS Discussion Paper Series F－196 Naofumi Nakamura ∗ Professor of Business History, Institute of Social Science, the University of Tokyo ∗ [email protected] 0 The First Globalization and the US-East Asian Locomotive Trade: Focusing on Baldwin Locomotive Works and Frazar & Co. in Japan Naofumi Nakamura (Institute of Social Science, University of Tokyo) Abstract In this paper, I have explained the locomotive supply arrangement that supported the rapid development of Japan’s railway industry at the turn of the century while focusing on the independence of Japanese mechanical engineers and the export of American-made locomotives to Japan. As a result, this paper clarified how American locomotive manufacturers dismantled the British monopoly, and penetrated the Japanese market, by paying attention to changes in technological development and business systems on the demand side of the railways, and the role of the international trading companies that mediated the supply of locomotives and rolling stock. In particular, I examined the case study of Frazar & Co. as an agent of Baldwin Locomotive Works by investigating cooperation related to the marketing activities of trading companies and makers in the locomotive industry. The trading companies, such as Frazer & Co., introduced the locomotive manufacturers to the engineers of railway companies, government officers, and academics in Japan, China, and elsewhere. In the emerging market, the search and transaction costs between makers and customers were very expensive. The trading companies in Japan or China had information related to the emerging market and contributed to lowering these costs to increase overall profits.

  • KAWASAKI REPORT 2006 Environmental and Social Responsibility Kawasaki Group Profile
    KAWASAKI REPORT 2006 Environmental and Social Responsibility Kawasaki Group Profile The Kawasaki Philosophy of Manufacturing Contributing to People and Society That’s the Philosophy of Kawasaki’s Business Activities In the latter half of the 19th century, Japan embarked on a new era after a long period of national seclusion. At that time, Shozo Kawasaki, the founder of our company, believed that for Japan to develop and prosper, the most important priorities were trading with overseas countries and having a fleet to promote that trade. Following this determination, he started building western type ships. “The most important thing I can do with my life, I believe, is to see what and how much I can contribute to society, and the business I start should be for that very purpose.” That philosophy is the state of mind maintained by the company to this day. In the years since, Kawasaki has continued to grow into a comprehensive heavy industry manufacturer that has contributed to people and society through its products, not only on the seas, but also on land, in the air and even outer space. Kawasaki vows to continue referring to this philosophy in order to create new values in societal contribution. 1 KAWASAKI REPORT 2006-Environmental and Social Responsibility Contents Kawasaki Group Profile 1 The Kawasaki Philosophy of Manufacturing 2 Kawasaki Group History Editorial Notes 3 Message from the President Striving for Coexistence between Environmental Conservation and Business Progress 5 Managerial Stance To Remain a Corporation in Keeping Kawasaki Group History with the Public’s Trust 7 Corporate Profile 1878 The Kawasaki Tsukiji Shipyard is founded.

    Economic Development of Japan No.4 Meiji technology transfer Meiji Mura Topics for Discussion How did Japan learn Western technology in the Meiji period? Give concrete methods and examples. Explain the relationship between learning method and speed on the one hand and the absorptive capacity of Japanese engineers and workers on the other hand. What were the leading industries that supported Japan’s Industrial Revolution around the 1890s? How did private effort and policy support interact? Describe the Japanese labor market situation during the late 19c and the early 20c—labor quality and characteristics, labor surplus or shortage, rural-urban migration, and wages. Learning Western Technology The most prominent aspect of Meiji Japan’s technology absorption was progression from easy to complex in both content and method of technology learning as domestic capability steady rose. Learning took place in the following overlapping sequence : (i) Dutch books, (ii) foreign instructors on site, (iii) turnkey projects by contracted foreign teams, (iv) sending students abroad, (v) technical universities and schools, (vi) copy production and reverse-engineering from imported machines, and (vii) selective learning through licensing, technical agreements and joint ventures. There was a happy blend of strong private dynamism and (mostly) appropriate industrial policy. Private dynamism was the main engine of growth while policy played an important supporting role (a similar situation was repeated in the post-WW2 high growth period). Traditional and modern industries co-existed. Old industries from the Edo period were not wiped out by superior Western technology. This was partly because Japanese goods and Western goods were quite differentiated in use, and partly because of learning effort by Japanese traditional industries.

  • The Rolling Stock Manufacturing Industry in Japan Masahito Mizoguchi
    F Rolling Stock and Manufacturers (part 1) eature The Rolling Stock Manufacturing Industry in Japan Masahito Mizoguchi Introduction Railway systems consist of integrated sub- systems of infrastructure and rolling stock. The infrastructure includes tracks, electric power supply substations and feeder lines, signalling and train control systems, station facilities, maintenance depots, etc. Each of these component parts must function as it is designed to do, and must also work together as a whole. While rolling stock is an important sub- system within the whole railway system, it also acts as the railway’s face to the customer and could be described as the main ‘actor’ on the rail transport ‘stage.’ Rolling stock manufacturers must evolve with the times by supplying operators with Series E231 running on Tokaido main line (JR East) rolling stock using new technologies that meet both the local and specific needs of it looks back in history to see how the generally over the last few years.
