  • The Changing Comparative Advantages of the Hong Kong Watch Industry, 1950–2010
    KER 81(1) pp. 28–47 SPECIAL ISSUE The Changing Comparative Advantages of the Hong Kong Watch Industry, 1950–2010 Pierre-Yves Donzé Graduate School of Economics/Hakubi Center, Kyoto University, Japan E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to further an understanding of the conditions of competitiveness in the global watch industry from the 1950s to 2010, taking Hong Kong as an example. Analyzing its organizational structure and its integration into the international division of labor over this period makes it possible to highlight three different phases, during which Hong Kong benefi ted from various competitive advantages that supported the expansion of its watch industry (i.e., subcon- tracting in the 1950s and 1960s; assembly of electronic watches in the 1970s and 1980s; and the implementation and use of new global value chains from the late 1980s). Keywords: Hong Kong, Watch industry, Switzerland, Technology transfer JEL classifi cation Numbers: N65, L63 1 Introduction Although Hong Kong became in the 1980s the world’s second-largest producer of watches and clocks, behind Switzerland, the development of this industry and the reasons for its international competitiveness are not well known. Academic research addressing this subject can be classifi ed into two groups. First, there are scholars who are interested in the global watch industry and in the role of technological innovation, in relation to changes in the competi- tiveness of various nations (e.g., Glasmeier 2000, Stephens and Dennis 2000, Tajeddini and Trueman 2008, Tuschman 2000). Most of them explain the suc- cess of Hong Kong enterprises in terms of the mass production of low-end products—a business model made possible from the late 1970s onwards by the presence of cheap labor and easy access to core watchmaking technology, following the advent of quartz watches.

  • 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.

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.
