综合商社起源于日本,诞生于19世纪中后期,其发展的黄金时期是“二战”之后的60年代。综合商社为战后日本扩大对外贸易起到了先锋作用,为日本“贸易立国”、经济飞跃,立下了不可磨灭的功绩。时至今日,日本综合商社已成为本国一股不可低估的重要经济力量。亚洲一些新兴工业化国家纷纷效仿,均取得令人瞩目的成效,成为本国经济腾飞的加速器。 The general trading company originated in Japan and was born in the middle and late 19th century. The golden period of its development was the 1960s after World War II. The General Trading Company played a pioneering role in the post-war expansion of Japan’s foreign trade. It also made an indelible contribution to Japan’s “trade-building” and economic leaps. Today, the Japan General Trading Company has become an important economic force that cannot be underestimated in the country. Some emerging industrialized countries in Asia have followed suit and achieved remarkable results, becoming an accelerator for their own economic growth.
