| Research Abstract |
1. This research project aimed at finding the determinants or controlling factors in firms' reforms or adaptations to rapid marketization (market liberalization) in China and India. We analyzed this problem from the viewpoint : the significance of changes in job-consciousness vs. the significance of institutional (organizational) changes.
2. For this purpose, we conducted the interview surveys of job-consciousness for managers and workers in the factories in Wu-han, China and New Delhi, India. By applying the multivariate statistical analyses to the data obtained from these factory surveys, after quantifying the answers of our questionnaire-sheets, we obtained the following conclusions :
3. (1) The changes in job-consciousness, particularly for middle managers, play much more crucial roles than those of the institutional or organizational improvements, when firms try to realize their reforms. (2) Education is much more important factor, than the labor conditions, which promotes the adaptations of job-consciousness to the new situations under the institutional reforms. (3) To introduce the Japanese style of management requires the changes in the value system (culture) of the people in a factory. Hence, it is not so easy to realize it without the changes in consciousness by education.
