研究日本经济成功之道,人们往往很容易把成就归功于索尼、松下、东芝、丰田这些庞大的集团公司。然而,这些庞大的集团公司仅仅代表着日本工业冰山的山顶。日本成为一个经济超级大国,主要是中、小型公司努力的结果。 日本的企业95％都是小公司,其注册资本小于5000万元,雇员不足300人。然而,这些小公司却雇佣了日本工业总劳动力的70％,创造工业总产值的60％,为社会提供工业产品总量的50％。 To study the economic success of Japan, it is often easy for people to attribute achievements to the large group companies such as Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, and Toyota. However, these large group companies represent only the tops of Japan’s industrial icebergs. Japan has become an economic superpower, mainly as a result of the efforts of small and medium-sized companies. Ninety-five percent of Japanese companies are small companies with less than 50 million registered capital and less than 300 employees. However, these small companies employ 70% of Japan’s total industrial labor force, create 60% of the total industrial output value, and provide society with 50% of the total industrial output.
