Six articles in this issue are papers read at the common-topics session of the ninth annual meeting of the Business History Society of Japan, held at Kobe University of Commerce on November 10 and 11, 1973.In the opening address, Kurita pointed out that the aim of this symposium lay in analysing the interrelationship between “Business Administration and Business History”. There are three approaches in studying business history : history of the business thought ; history of the business structures ; history of the business management. Kurita emphasized the possibility of multiple approaches, suggesting five genres of the history of business management-labour management ; financial management ; production management ; marketing management ; and accounting management.The second speaker, Professor Seiji Fujitsu (Hitotsubashi University), explained, to the minutest detail, the development of the standard profit concept at Onoda Cement Manufacturing Company, which was one of the pioneering modern enterprises in Meiji-Japan. He pointed out that Onoda Cement Manufacturing Company was the earliest enterprise tackling with the problem of depreciation-expense. (Commentator ; Professor Jiro Ono, Kobe University).Professor Hiroshi Noguchi (Keio University) tried to trace the historical characteristics of the labour management in Japan. He concretely reported about “the Japan-Type-Labour-Management”, which had a couple of unique marks-the system of employment for life ; the institution of generous welfare ; and the special personnel relationship based on the business community. (Commentator : Professor Hiroshi Hazama, Tokyo University of Education).Professor Hiroshi Tachibana (Osaka Municipal University) insisted the importance of the historical approach in the study of production control, reviewing the development of capitalistic-factory-production during the recent two centuries, together with the contemporary thoughts and systems of production control. He also analyzed the current structure and function of the production control in detail, from the historical view point. (Commentator : Professor Kisoo Tasugi, Kyoto-Gakuen University).Professor Koichi Shimokawa (Hosei University) reported on the origin and growth of the marketing control in the United States during the latter half of the 19 th century. He found the origin of the marketing as a means of control in the early development of salesmen control, promoted in some new consumers' goods industries, such as sewing-machine, reaper, meat-packing and cigarette, to which neither established marketing organization nor sales agency could afford enough sales facilities. (Commentator : Professor Moriaki Tsuchiya, Tokyo University).Professor Eiichiro Ogura (Shiga University) gave the audience a corroborative business-history-research of the accounting management. Analyzing the cases of House of Nakai and Muranishi together with Izumo-account, he put emphasis on the existences of the managerial-accounting and the cost-accounting in Tokugawa-Japan. (Commentator : Professor Osao Kojima, Kwansei Gakuin University).Co-chairmen of this symposium were Professor Yasuzo Horie (Kyoto Sangyo University) and Professor Keiichiro Nakagawa (Tokyo University).

On November 9th and 10th, 1968, the Business History Society of Japan had her fourth annual meeting at the University of Osaka. On the first day twelve papers were read on “free topics” and on the second day the meeting was devoted to the common topic, “Comparative Studies of Entrepreneurship”.In the opening address, Kurita explained that all the speakers had common understanding that the international difference of entrepreneurship could be perceived in its relations with social and cultural factors as well as economic conditions.The first speaker, Professor Masaji Arai of Kansai University analysed the stagnation of the English economy during the Great Depression. and explained it by the conservatism of the English businessmen. After pointing out some of the handicaps of the leader country, he also emphasized the adverse effect of the imperial market which allowed English entrepreneurs to enjoy high rates of profit without drastic rationalisation of their business. Professor Tadakatsu Inoue of the Kobe University confirmed the proposition that in the era of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the cultural, social, and economic conditions of the United States operated for encouraging the flow of the ablest members of the society into business and for making them devoted businessmen. The proposition was testified by the moves of some individual American businessmen.Professor Keiichiro Nakagawa of the University of Tokyo expounded that the lack of “acquisitive attitudes” and “functionalism” in the Indian society, which he considered to be the outcome from both the Hinduism and the “joint-family” system, had been the major obstacles against the emergence of aggressive entrepreneurship. He also emphasized that the political unstability, originated from the racial, linguistic and religions diversities, had greatly hindered in India the entrepreneurial development with long term horizon. After elucidating the rise of some non-Hindu business groups, he made some comments on Morris W. Morris's interpretation of the Indian development.Professor Tien-yi Yang of the Kyushu Industrial University elaborated that the traditional Chinese society was structured primarily on the basis of kinship, local community, ancestor worship, hierarchical and particularistic pattern of conduct. This whole structure fitted completely with the well-known “familism” of Chinese society. Kinship and territorial community played the pivotal parts in the whole network of social solidarity there, characterizing the entrepreneurship in Modern China by the supreme collective interests and business organization exclusively by such personal. relations.Professor Kisou Tasugi of the Kyoto University maintained that the twentieth century entrepreneurship in Japan was more motivated by “promotion profit” rather than nationalism. He verified his theme by some pioneering “engineer entrepreneurs” in the chemical and electric manufacturing industries, such as Jun Noguchi, Seita Kumura and Namihei Kodaira.After these six reports a panel discussion on this common topic was presided by Professor Mataji Miyamoto of the University of Osaka.
