Success in the knowledge society

Today's economical education column of NIKKEI newspaper,Mr.tanaka,famous economic critic,said that Japanese economy needs the stage where professional people can play an active part . Professional  means person who have plenty of knowledge to survive in economical society. Mr.Drucker said that Japan had success in the industrial society,so Japan is tend to delay to adjust this knowledge based society.That comment is hint for us. Please have a good year-end!

JAL from now on

According to newspaper Japan Air Line is considering whether use legal reformation or not. As users , the enterprise itself should be reformed to remain. Contrarily the company have to adjust the interests. We should watch how to solve this problem.

Reform needs energy and cooperative mind

Nowadays every company and workers needs reform in Japan. There are already learned system.So people are reluctant to do reform action.Those mind probably effect. Japanese company and business model sometimes reject change. We should have more energy and cooperative mind to do reform for people in the future.

Pleasure at the year end

There are only 4days in this year. I wonder how is the next year,expecting and considering what to do and what is the target of the next year. Every year-end I remember the passing year and  plan to do next year.That is my pleasure.What going on the next year's plan. 

Hospitality Business

I stayed a hotel near Tokyo Disney land yesterday with mu family. When I sayed such a hotel , I always consider how to imorove hospitality of  resort Hotel . Good hospitality and good service make us stay more days in Hotel and begin to stay more places for sightseeing. Increasing the number of repeaters get those business more popular and strong.

National debt

According to newspaper,the National debt of Japan is 44.3tyo-uen.That expence exceed tax income. It means the continuation of national finance must be improved in the near future again.That is tough and different problem,I think.

Merry Christmas!

There are many events in terms of Christmas season. Christmas cards,sale,cake,tree and present. We can enjoy and have peaceful mind through those things and events. I think those effect are very important for us to refresh and have communication.We would like to keep those events in the future. For peace .

Volvo to Chinese carmaker

Ford Motor Co. announced that the Stock of Volvo are going to be selled to  Zhejiang Geely Holding Company Limited 2010. This M&A's point is how to manage "post merger integration".The culture and management between Sweden, USA and China.So manager and board member of new Volvo have to be sensitive to those background.How to keep brand strategy and techniqual superiority is related to those things.

Forgetfulness makes us sensitive to information

When we have plenty of information,we get busy operating them and stop thinking.Contrarily when we forget and lack of information , we get interested in them and begin to study. This is something like "fasting".Recently people are full of information and are not interested in studying and getting more information or relationship to other people in Japan. This fasting is probably good for us to review our surrounding.

Economy in BOP

BOP(bottom of pyramid) ,people who have under 3thousand dollers income live in developing countries,economic importance is getting large and we should think about them because the number of those people get up to over 70% of people in the world. I think that the project in terms of this can be some NPO or NGO project. We can become aware of the real shape of this world. 

Reform in NAGOYA CITY

This reform was reported by TV program "sunday project". Mr.Kawamura,Mayor of Nagoya,propose 10% reduction of taxes by reforming the system and custom of administration.In this prosess, there are many frictions and arguments in the City assembly. That makes us aware of the discussion's importance.

Flowers under the cold sky

I found two flowers around my house.One is white narcissus(SUISEN) and the other is yellow carolina jasmine(KARORAINA JASUMIN). In winter flowers are few. So those flowers are very valuable for us to encourage ourselves.

The merit of FREE OF CHARGE

I am very interested in what is going to brings us by "FREE OF CHARGE" trend recently. Now I read a book about this theme"FREE-The future of a radical price by Chris Anderson フリー　無料からお金を生み出す新戦略　クリスアンダーソン著（ＮＨＫ出版）" I would like to think this theme thoroughly in this year end because I think this is relevant to educational business.

Kanji this year is "新"

This year's KANJI was decided "新"SHIN.SHIN means something new or neo something.It has good or bad, ambivarent meaning.Good meaning are new thing ,new goods new policy ,contrarily bad meaning are new disease or some pain. I hope this SHIN makes us more tough and brings us good future. 

Conference between remote places

New conference system is depeloped and probably change our lives better. This enable us to talk and discuss from far distant place. For example ,in business scene,we can have meeting between distant places and save the cost to transfer.For education,we can use this for students to ask question to proper teacher in distant place. I was impressed.

Only 55% can get job (high school guraduates)

Yesterday Ministry of education announced that the persentage of people who can get job after guraduating high school is plunged recently. I think that this is a crisis for us.We should seek and know what the reason of this and have to get it better.I think this is related to educational matter.The educational policy is needed. But the budjet is limited.What to do in this situation?

Wake up early morning

Today I and my elder son wake up 6 am and have breakfast with conversation. He can preparate for todays program in school. Getting up early morning is good for us. We japanese say"HAYAOKI WA SANMON NO TOKU".

East Asia collaboration

Today's government are seeking to have "East Asia collaboration plan" . So Prime minister and leading person in the government visited  China or Singapare and other countries located in East Asia.Today,the border between countries are getting lower, diminished ,gone away European Union for example.I think that we Japanese should know people,culture and laguages in Asia.  

Consistent trial

I use several certifying examination to see and keep the knowledge and skill for business ability.For example,I tried accounting exam.(BOKI) to retain the ability of accouting skill and keep up with renewal the revision of commercial law and accouting. I think that it is valuable and new use for examination.

Educational business in India

I met two Indian people yesterday and taik about the situation of national educational system and the trend of going abroad to enter foreign University. Before this meeting I have no image of those thing , but I can have those image clearer after that. In India there are already plenty of system(include facility and circumstances) to get education from basic level to advanced level. And most of university student do not do part time job because they must study in University.I had a image that on the contrarily Japanese univertity student probably lose their ability or get late in accumulating the useful or educational knowledge in easy going lifestyle in Japanese university.I think this is serious for Japanese.

Deflation December

Bonus in this December is lowest level in this 20 years. So people are goint to fasten their wallet and inflation is spreaded out.What should we do against those trend? I think that we should seek better life aggressively with more thinking, reading ,watching ,communicating and spending proper cost for those events, I think.

Suzuki and VW

Car maker Suzuki and WV join hands Yesterday.I thought this news as something like a merger, but Mr.suzuki said, at the inteview last night,that this tie up does not means Suzuki lost independent and VW will not control Suzuki business.So I think this means measures to develop electric car and find how to succeed the business of Suzuki.

How to spend money?

According to newspaper,the sales of car is growing in China and India recently.Contrarily inJapan young people are not interested in Car.They do not think enjoy life with car and would like to save money.What is this? Money is just money,it is not another thing. Japanese young people should know the opportunity cost by saving money in their young age.

How to activate high school

Last night I attended some seminor discussed how to change high school to be a proper school for changing entrance examination for high level university. There were many teacher or officer of high school in that seminor.They are very interested in brush up their high school's image for their future students.This project needs teachers and headquarters change drastically.

Habit of study helps us to live properly

I got a good news from ALC(English studing program)that I got a 100point in monthly test in Healing marathon in November. I felt good and started program in December with my motivated mind. I think that studing contiuously is good for us to face aganst new situation or new job or new acquaintance.It will become certain ability I think.

生き方の多様化か？単調化か？【日曜版準備号】

内閣府が５日発表した調査によれば、
「結婚は個人の自由で、しなくてもよい」
とする人が、４０代以下で８割を超えた
という。

過去の調査と比較しても、この比率は
高まっている。

これは、生き方の多様化を意味するの
だろうか。つまり、結婚しないという
新しい生き方が生まれたというべきなの
だろうか？

否。結婚をしないということで、新しい
人とのつながりが生まれるという兆候
がない限り、単に、単調な独身生活を
続ける人が増えているという事に過ぎ
ないと思う。

結婚によって、得られる「学び」の
チャンスを失う事実は想像以上に大
きい。社会に出て、多様な人々との
つながりに苦慮する人が増加するので
はないか。

ＮＰＯや地域、ネットなどの人間関係が
この間隙を埋めていくことを期待して
います。

【日曜日は日本語コラムも：日曜版
準備号始めました～2010年始から
正式日曜版とする予定】

No need to get married??

According to recent reserch,over 80 percentage under fourties people think that marriage is not inevitable and it should be depend on ones free choice which one get married or not.I think that this trend is going to change our society to where we do not know before.

Sinior people's vitality

NIKKEI BUSINESS(MAGAZINE)has a special section about"Vitality of Japanese senior people「DANKAI NO SEDAI」".The article said that recently companies call center get many calls from senior men who has opinion or claim about commodity. I think that it is very important and profitable to use those activity.

How to keep weight

I try to control my weight for my health.But that is very hard to do. The point is how to control what I eat. But that is very difficult to keep on going.When I feel hanger because of some reason the difficulty hit the highest point.I will try.

Cold rainy day

It is cold this morning and rainy outside.December started and we began to talk about how is the economic trend in this year end rally. I think It is cloudy and a little rainy in Japanese economy but substantially Japanese economy and company have strong power to manage this economic turmoil.

Important testimony(secret agreement)

Yesterday Mr.Yoshino(former bureau chief of Foreign Ministry)said that there was secret agreement of returning Okinawa in 1972.This episode teach us the importance of belief what to do as human being not as a part of one organization(government office,one company for example).
