  • A Syntactical Analysis of Modern Japanese Thought Patterns As Reflected in Characteristics of the Japanese Language
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Yoko Tsuboya for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Postsecondary and Technological Education presented on April 18, 1990. Title: A Syntactical Analysis of Modern Japanese Thought Patterns as Reflected in Characteristics of the Japanese Language Redacted for privacy Abstract approved Dr./Car-1os Ovando This study had two purposes. The first purpose was to determine whether certain aspects of the Japaneselanguage were reflected in examples of the Japanesecultural construct of contemporary essays. The second purpose was to show how these aspects of the Japanese languagereflect the intuitive, non-logical nature of Japanesethinking. Three characteristics of the Japanese language were first identified: orientation to a particularsituation; relative freedom of word order; and ellipsis, especially omission of the subject. A contemporary Japanese essaywas then analyzed at the syntactic level and compared toits English translation. It was found that at thesyntactic level the Japanese essay showed greater freedomof word order than its English translation and that ellipsis of the subject was present in several places in the essay. Relative freedom to express different aspects of reality and to respond to reality in an emotional way werethen discussed in relation to word order, and the Japanese way of approaching reality called "no-mind" wasdiscussed in relation to ellipsis. Three additional Japanese essays and three additional English-language essays were then analyzed at the macrostructure level. It was found that the Japanese essays had a much stronger situationaland natural aspect than the English essays, that they had a much lessrigid structure according to the rules forconstructing essays in English, and that they had a much weaker logical aspect.

  • News Release
    NEWS RELEASE February 28, 2020 Announcing the Latest Cherry Blossom Forecast! The cherry blossom season will begin on March 16 in Tokyo and Fukuoka At Ueno Park, we can expect to enjoy cherry blossoms in full bloom around March 24 Weathernews Inc. has announced their forecast for the upcoming cherry blossom season. This year, the Yoshino cherry trees are expected to blossom earlier or slightly earlier than usual across a wide area of western and eastern Japan (based on the averages for the past 5 years from 2015 to 2019), and in some places blossoms are expected to appear at the earliest dates on record. However, blossoming is forecast to begin slightly later than usual in the southern part of Kyushu, where the break of dormancy has been delayed due to a warm winter. Blossoming will begin on March 16th in Tokyo and Fukuoka, followed by Yokohama, Matsuyama, and Kochi on the 17th. If cherry trees blossom in Tokyo on March 16, it will match the earliest blossoming date since record keeping began. By the end of March, cherry trees will be blossoming in most areas of western and eastern Japan, and will have begun to blossom in southern Tohoku. The cherry blossom front will reach Hokkaido in late April, with Kushiro expected to be the last place to see blossoms, early in May. Currently, buds are growing at the same rate as, or slightly faster than, last year, when blossoms appeared in line with yearly averages. With temperatures in March and April expected to be higher than normal, and the same as or higher than last year, buds are growing quickly and blossoms are expected to appear up to a week earlier than last year in some places.

CEO succession provides a context in which individual decisions and agency, stakeholder interests and conflict, and the organizational needs for legitimacy and acceptance in the large environment come together. Most of these researches, however, have been conducted in the U.S., where the board of directors has the legal and actual responsibility for appointing and replacing the CEO. CEO succession still remains unexplored terrain in countries such as Japan in which the corporation system differs significantly from the U.S. For example, the board of directors in Japan is composed primarily of executives and non-executive members of the firm and overwhelmingly represents the interests of the employees.
