| Research Abstract |
The project has aimed at identifying commonalities and differences in the development and in current managerial practices of the machinery industry of India and Japan. The three year (fiscal 1992-94) study has uncovered
(a) that, whereas Japan is renowned for the relative abundance of the medium- and small-scale firms, India is characterized by far the greater dominance of those firms regardless of the criteria used to classify them,
(b) that the two coutries differ significantly in the managerial styles and practices, although the so-called Japanese-style management has been surprisingly well accepted among the firms which have had joint venture arrangements with Japanese counterparts, particularly since the adoption of the liberalization policy by the Indian government in 1991,
(c) that contemporary personnel management practices in India, while differing distinctly from those of Japan, suggest a brighter future prospect, and
(d) that the growth of the machinery sector of the Indian economy seems reasonably well warranted if the current pace of technology transfer continues and the macro economic policies are well managed.
The final write-ups of the project, currently being revised and/or translated into English, will be presented to a final workshop which is planned to be held in Tokyo in February 1996.
