The management of international joint ventures: an organizational learning perspective

Over the past two decades there has been a substantial increase in the formation of international joint ventures. For many firms, JVs have become the 'fifth' mode of competitive strategy. This book examines various organizational issues, with a particular focus on collaboration and organizational learning. A primary objective in the book is to identify those organizational process that facilitate learning in JVs and help improve the quality of JV managerial practice. Examples of JVs drawn from firms and regions from around the globe illustrate the text. The focus is on a detailed examination of learning through collaboration. The focus is on learning JV parents and the joint venture itself have learned. Organizational dimensions and the learning process are considered and some of the more controversial and topical issues of international learning are examined as the basis for developing a multi-level learning framework. The final issue considered in this relationship between learning, collaborative knowledge and JV stability.

The Japanese woman: traditional image and changing reality

In "The Japanese Woman: Traditional Image and Changing Reality," Sumiko Iwao explores the evolving role of women in Japan, balancing historical perceptions with contemporary changes. The author delves into various aspects of a woman's life, including family, work, and societal expectations, and discusses how these elements intersect and shape the modern Japanese woman's identity. Through comprehensive analysis and personal narratives, Iwao provides a nuanced understanding of the achievements and challenges faced by Japanese women in a rapidly changing society.

PHASETRANSITIONS

This book is based on a short graduate course given by one of us (M.G) at New York University and at Bar-Ilan University, Israel. The decision to publish these lectures as a book was made, after some doubts, for the following reason. The theory of phase transitions, with excellent agreement between theory and experiment, was developed some forty years ago culminating in Wilson’s Nobel prize and the Wolf prize awarded to Kadanoff, Fisher and Wilson. In spite of this, new books on phase transitions appear each year, and each of them starts with the justification of the need for an additional book. Following this tradition we would like to underline two main features that distinguish this book from its predecessors.

Большая книга перемен к лучшему

Мысль, которую вы высказываете, есть аффирмация. Даже если вы разговариваете сами с собой, ваш внутренний диалог – это поток аффирмаций. Вы создаете свой жизненный опыт с каждым произнесенным словом, каждой мыслью. Некоторые наши убеждения формируются еще в детском возрасте и работают на нас, но есть и те, которые ограничивают возможности в достижении наших стремлений и желаний

Public policy and private education in Japan

This comprehensive book explores the intricate landscape of public policy and private education in Japan. The authors, Estelle James and Gail Benjamin, delve into the historical and cultural background of Japanese education, examining various aspects such as the educational reforms under the Tokugawa Shogunate and the American Occupation, the school environment, the structure of private education, and the economic and social returns of education investment. The book provides a thorough analysis of the private educational sector, touching on topics like subsidies, tuition fees, and educational quality. It is a profound resource for understanding the dynamics of private and public education in one of the world's most developed countries.

PERTURBATION METHODS IN FLUID MECHANICS

The technical literature devoted to perturbation methods in me chanics has burgeoned since this book appeared in 1964. Techniques for treating singular perturbation problems, then unfamiliar and esoteric, are now part of the analytical apparatus of anyone interested in research. Applications in continuum mechanics, first limited mainly to classical fluid dynamics and linear elasticity, have spread over a wide range of fields, and new techniques are being developed while older ones are refined. The resulting research papers, even if restricted to fluid mechanics, number in the thousands. Other books have meanwhile appeared to codify and guide this body of work. Those of an applied character similar to this one are the books of Bellman (1964), Cole (1968), and Navfeh (1973). More mathematically oriented treatments include O'Malley (1968, 1974) and Eckhaus (1973).

Ordinary people, extraordinary lives

My relationship to Tōhoku began in 1974 and came about as a result of two years spent at the Inter-University Center for Japanese Language Studies from 1969 to 1971. This relationship with Tōhoku intensified following my academic appointment to the faculty of the East-West Center, where I was able to closely observe and participate in the transformative changes occurring in Japanese society. This book recounts the extraordinary adaptations and contributions of ordinary villagers in Tōhoku, Japan, documenting their political and economic transformations and their intricate interactions within the community across several decades.

Perfect Symmetry

In preparing this book I have been fortunate in having friends and colleagues who can offer open criticism or who have made suggestions that found their way into the text. I have benefited from comments by Jeremy Bernstein, John Brockman, Malcolm Diamond, John Faulkner, Randall Furlong, George Greenstein, Alan Guth, Edward Harrison, Joseph H. Hazen, Nicolas Herbert, James McCarthy, Richard Ogust, Jim Peebles, Anthony Tyler and Anthony Zee. I am especially grateful for the detailed criticism of George Field and Engelbert Schucking in the sections of the book dealing with astrophysics and cosmology. Alice Mayhew and Catherine Shaw did the major editorial work on the text and helped turn my English into English. Matthew Zimet's inventive illustrations delight the eye and do much to enhance the text. Finally, I want to thank the Board of Governors of The New York Academy of Sciences for their sympathetic appreciation of my interest in science writing.

Hidden horrors: Japanese war crimes in world war ii

This indispensable volume documents war crimes attributable to Japanese forces during World War II. Tanaka Yuki, renowned Japanese historian and human rights activist, invokes extensive historical resources, hundreds of personal testimonies, and sound methodologies in producing this compilation. The book explores and accounts for the numerous atrocities committed against Chinese, Koreans, Filipinos, Indonesians, and other peoples across East and Southeast Asia by Japan’s Imperial Army. Through an in-depth analysis, Tanaka importantly addresses the cultural, political, and social frameworks that allowed such conduct to occur. A foreword by John W. Dower frames the work within its broader historical context.

Path Integrals in Physics Volume II

In the second volume of this book (chapters 3 and 4) we proceed to discuss path-integral applications for the study of systems with an infinite number of degrees of freedom. An appropriate description of such systems requires the use of second quantization, and hence, field theoretical methods. The starting point will be the quantum-mechanical phase-space path integrals studied in volume I, which we suitably generalize for the quantization of field theories. One of the central topics of chapter 3 is the formulation of the celebrated Feynman diagram technique for the perturbation expansion in the case of field theories with constraints (gauge-field theories), which describe all the fundamental interactions in elementary particle physics. However, the important applications of path integrals in quantum field theory go far beyond just a convenient derivation of the perturbation theory rules. We shall consider, in this volume, various modern non-perturbative methods for calculations in field theory, such as variational methods, the description of topologically non-trivial field configurations, the quantization of extended objects (solitons and instantons), the 1/N-expansion and the calculation of quantum anomalies. In addition, the last section of chapter 3 contains elements of some advanced and currently developing applications of the path-integral technique in the theory of quantum gravity, cosmology, black holes and in string theory.
