He aims to solve the hot topic debated during decades and scholars have done their question of why there are such great differences in researches in a various fields over this subject. There are three international employment relations and why firms and outstanding achievements in searching for the truth of Japanese workers should take employment relationships as their employment system made by David Marsden, James Abegglen, and Ronald Dore on behalf of each period.

  • 2015 Annual Report on Japan Chapter
    The 2015 Annual Report on Japan Chapter 1. Membership We have around hundred members, although the exact number is not available. Our membership is renewed every year. 2. Chapter Conference As usual, our 2014 Chapter Conference was held jointly with the 21st Annual Meeting of JAIBS (Japan Academy of International Business Studies) under the main theme "Regional Innovation and its Globalization" at Hokkai Gakuen University, Sapporo, Japan on November 1-3, 2013. Of all 200 participants, around 30% are assumed to be the members of AIB Japan. (In total, JAIBS has 729 individual members and five institutional members, as of 2014). Our 2015 Chapter Conference will be held jointly with the 22nd Annual Meeting of JAIBS under its main theme “”International Business and the Emerging Economies” at Nihon University, Japan on October 23-25, 2015. JAIBS has its 5 geographic divisions from the north to the south, namely Hokkaido & Tohoku division, Kanto division where Tokyo area is located, Chubu division where Nagoya area is located, Kansai division where Osaka and Kobe area are located, Chugoku & Shikoku division, and Kyushu division. Each division holds a few divisional conferences annually where AIB Japan Chapter members are also active as presenters and discussants. 3. Linkage and Collaboration with JAIBS As mentioned earlier, most members of AIB Japan Chapter are concurrently affiliated with JAIBS. JAIBS was established in September 1994 at Waseda University under the leadership of Professor Ken'ichi Enatsu, the former Chair of AIB Japan Chapter. Establishing JAIBS is exactly the realization of our long time dream to integrate IB scholars who had been so far dispersed among various academic organizations.

    No. 8] Proc. Jpn. Acad., Ser. B 80 (2004) 359 Review Organoborane coupling reactions (Suzuki coupling) ), ) By Akira SUZUKI* ** Professor Emeritus, Hokkaido University (Communicated by Teruaki MUKAIYAMA, M. J. A.) Abstract: The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between different types of organoboron compounds with sp2-, sp3-, and sp-hybridized carbon-boron compounds and various organic electrophiles in the presence of base provides a powerful and useful synthetic methodology for the formation of carbon-car- bon bonds. The coupling reaction offers several advantages: (1) Availability of reactants (2) Mild reaction conditions (3) Water stability (4) Easy use of the reaction both in aqueous and heterogeneous conditions (5) Tolerance of a broad range of functional groups (6) High regio- and stereoselectivity (7) Insignificant effect toward steric hindrance (8) Use of very small amounts of catalysts (9) Utilization as one-pot synthesis (10) Non-toxic reaction Key words: Pd-catalyst; cross-coupling reaction; organoboron compounds; synthesis of conjugated alka- dienes and alkenynes; biaryl synthesis.

  • Dr. Takashi Sugimura: a Giant of Chemical Carcinogenesis RETROSPECTIVE James E
    RETROSPECTIVE Dr. Takashi Sugimura: A giant of chemical carcinogenesis RETROSPECTIVE James E. Troskoa,1 It will be difficult to take the measure of the man, Dr. Takashi Sugimura, who died on September 6, 2020, since so much has been written about his persona and his status as an internationally recognized biochemical cancer researcher. It goes without saying that the scientific community has lost an extraordinary human being. However, at least he left us the shoulder of a giant on which to stand. Sugimura was a graduate of the University of Tokyo, Faculty of Medicine, where he received his medical degree in 1949 and the degree of Doctor of Medical Science in 1957. He completed a postdoc- toral fellowship at the Cancer Institute, Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research, and with that sterling education and experience, Sugimura became Chief of Biochemistry Division at the Research Institute, Na- tional Cancer Center, in Tokyo in 1962. Sugimura went on to serve as President of the institute from 1984 to 1991. While at the National Cancer Center, he also had an appointment with the Institute of Medical Science, University of Tokyo, where he worked from 1970 to 1985, advancing to the rank of Professor in recognition of his research and administrative acu- men. He later served as President of Toho University from 1994 to 2000. In recognition of his international research impact, Sugimura was elected a recipient of the Japan Prize (1997), a Foreign Member of the Royal Takashi Sugimura. Image credit: The Japan Academy.

    2010-61 Estimation of Social Costs of Transportation in Japan (Revised Version) Fumitoshi Mizutani Yusuke Suzuki Hiroki Sakai Estimation of Social Costs of Transportation in Japan (Revised Version) by Fumitoshi MIZUTANI , Yusuke SUZUKI, Hiroki SAKAI Kobe University, Graduate School of Business Administration 2-1 Rokkodai, Nada-ku, Kobe 657-8501 Japan Correspondent Author: Fumitoshi Mizutani [email protected] [Abstract]: Using a data set of 111 Japanese cities from the year 2005, we aim in this paper to estimate the social costs of car transport and to analyze the structure of the components of and the relationship between social costs and city size. We obtain the following major results. First, the social costs of vehicular transport increase at an accelerated pace as city size becomes larger. Second, while the construction of roads does not work to decrease the social costs of vehicular transport, public transportation has a tendency to decrease such costs, though with minimal effect. Third, the traffic congestion component represents more than 45% of the total social cost of vehicular transport. Cost due to global warming accounts for 5 to 11% of the total. Fourth, the social costs of vehicular transport are about 8.0% of GDP. Fuel tax for car transport in Japan covers only 16.3% of the social costs of regular car use. [JEL Classification] Q51, Q52, R41 [Key Words] Social costs, External costs, Vehicular transport, Environmental protection, Global warming 1 1. Introduction With more people concerned about protecting the environment at both local and global levels, dependence on vehicular transportation in cities has brought about problems.
