This study examines the philosophy upon which Tamagawa Seiki Co., Ltd. is based, and analyzes the management reforms implemented by the company since the 1990s.In 1938, Hiroichi Hagimoto established Tamagawa Seiki for the main purpose of stimulating regional revitalization in the south of Nagano Prefecture, which had suffered heavily in the 1930s because of the effects of the Great Depression. Since then, the basic philosophy of this company has been to focus on its regional community; this philosophy has contributed to regional industrial development.After World WarⅡ, Tamagawa Seiki focused extensively on the design of products and on research and development. Further, it actively promoted and organized cooperative factories to contribute to regional development. However, the company faced two management crises between the mid-1980s and the early 1990s. During the management reforms that were implemented in the aftermath of these crises, the top management resolved not to move its factories overseas and, instead, to continue domestic development and production.The reforms comprised the following measures. (1) The company adopted an original strategy called Tanzakuka that involves identifying core competencies and concentrating on these competencies. (2) The production engineering department was instrumental in enabling the company to produce selected “Tanzaku” products in-house through a mass production system. (3) Upon further expansion of production in the 2000s, Tamagawa Seiki acquired some bankrupt cooperative factories as wholly owned subsidiaries, and established new factories in those areas from which leading companies had withdrawn. Because of these reforms, Tamagawa Seiki realized fresh corporate growth and contributed to the revitalization of the regional economy.

This paper analyzes the case of the Electric Lamp Glass Industry to discuss the development of Japan's economic control over medium and small companies, the industrial cooperation movement in the 1930s, and the relationship that existed between the two. I focus specifically on the official recognition accredited to the labor union, Kanto Electric Lamp Glass Industry Labor Union (KELGILU) by the trade association, Tokyo Electric Lamp Bulb Association (TELBA), and the labor agreement between them. I find that (1) TELBA acted negatively toward the official recognition of KELGILU when the union was initially established; and that (2) TELBA authorized KELGILU and entered into a labor agreement after handling the problem of the sales of surplus products to outside customers by Tokyo Electric Corporation and dealing with the labor dispute at Marusa Factory. I also find that the Industrial Cooperation Committee (ICC) was established as the management-labor consulting organization; and that the industrial cooperation movement developed after the signing of the labor agreement. Most importantly, I highlight the following: First, the mutual aid system, which consisted of sick pay, life insurance, and retirement allowance, was established through the activities of ICC. Second, standard wages common to all factories were established. Under this new system, factories that offered wages lower than the standard were obliged to raise wages, and attempts were made to improve working conditions on an industry-wide basis. Third, the sales-price control that TELBA attempted to implement at the time was not fully adhered to by the industry. ICC, therefore, pursued the application of price control via suspension of the supply of KELGILU workers to those factories that violated the control. Similarly, ICC systematically applied the labor supply suspension against factories that did not cooperate with the establishment of the above-mentioned mutual aid system and the adoption of the standard wages. I conclude that the economic control and industrial cooperation movement developed in complement as a way to bring about both stabilization of business administration and improvement of working conditions in the Electric Lamp Glass Industry.
