商品簡介
In this first volume of a new series, the chair of the Japan Society of Scotland has compiled a volume that provides insights into what has made Japan an economic giant. Picken, who has been an instructor and administrator at universities in Japan, presents a chronology tracing the evolution of the Japanese success story, an overview of Japanese culture and the relationship of Confucian values to its modern business culture, a dictionary of cross- referenced terms from abacus to Zeniya Gohei (a merchant of the Edo period), and an extensive bibliography. Especially relevant to those conducting business in Japan are the glossaries of proverbial, traditional, and modern Japanese expressions used in business contexts today. Previously released under the title Historical dictionary of Japanese business. Annotation c2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
