The U.S. industrial world and government have been in stagnation since the oil crisis II. They recognized Japanese TQC (Total Quality Control), which was born in the first half of 1960s and prevailed among Japanese firms rapidly, one of main factors of good performances during the above period. And they developed it to TQM (Total Quality Management) from strategic viewpoint. The U.S. government founded Malcom Baldrige National Quality Award (MBA) in 1987 in order to promote to prevail it into the U. S. firms as a trump of reclaiming her economy falling into long term stagnation since the early 1980s. The U.S. economy recovered her hegemony in world economy in 1990s. MBA was regarded as one of the main causes of the recovering. When Japanese economy fell into serious structural stagnation from the early 1990s, the industrial people studied it and the results of TQM. Social Economy Productivity Headquarter founded Japanese Managerial Quality Award in1995, and also Japan Science and Engineering Federation also changed the name of TQC to TQM and modified the review criteria of Deming Awards with reference to TQM. And many Japanese firms which began to endeavor managerial innovation aim at receiving either of the above two awards. In this paper the author traces the developing process of modern quality management from Statistical Quality Control through TQC to TQM primarily, and then tries to examine the characteristic of two Japanese version of TQM in comparison with that of the original American.

It is well known that the Kumon Method of education, which has attracted keen attention worldwide, has experienced two breakthroughs and has undergone continuous innovation. The first breakthrough produced the Kumon Method as a result of Toru Kumon's home training of his son, while the second breakthrough led to global expansion of the Kumon Method. The materials presented in this paper cover all of the discourses of the founder, Toku Kumon, for the period between 1954 and 1995. In addition to these materials, I have used the results of objective research conducted in four different fields (total quality control, history of modern education, cognitive psychology, business administration). Strategic innovation in the Kumon Method was ignited by the rediscovery of reading and was driven by the engine of a "just right" point.

After World War II, GHQ(General Headquarters)decided to open the library school in Japan for democracy. Robert L. Gitler, the president of JLS(Japan Library school), invited four faculties of library science in U.S.A. Frances N. Cheney came to Japan as a specialist of reference service, and taught reference service and librarianship to Japanese students for 18 months. They were influenced by her, and from then spread reference service in Japan.

The conclusions reached in this paper can be summarized as follows: (1) In terms of the minuteness or roughness of accounting standards, it may be said that the vector of a rules-based approach in U.S. and Japanese accounting standards lengthens towards modern disciplinary systems, when we take into consideration the relative numerousness (forced character) of rules and the domestic narrowness in the number of companies they apply to. On the other hand, it may be said that the vector of a principlesbased approach in the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) lengthens towards contemporary systems through the promotion of environmental awareness, when we take into consideration the relative fewness (arbitrary character) of rules and the international broadness in the number of companies they apply to. (2) We cannot approve of both the supporting and opposing arguments for the International Accounting Standards (IFRS). According to a convincing opposing argument, the asset and liability view (IFRS, FAS) is considered unsound because it is only suitable for financial industry. The revenue and expense view (Japanese Accounting Standards) is considered sound because it is suitable for manufacturing industry. In our opinion, both views are accounting discourses which are competitive in the vortex of the ?struggle for power?. A strong (sound) one wins in common-sense terms, but ?the strong one doesn?t win, the one that wins is strong (sound)? in the struggle for power. (3) On the other hand, our objection to the supporting arguments is as follows: The philosophy of the International Accounting Standards (IFRS) originates from neoliberalism, leads to a widening of the gap between rich and poor and social uneasiness. Speaking on the significance of the International Accounting Standards (IFRS), the assumption that the introduction of IFRS is inevitable is unconsciously induced, not only in strong firms (the very few large multinational companies), but also in weak firms (medium- and small-sized businesses which make up an overwhelming majority). In it, we find the shadow of Foucault?s power theory in contemporary accounting practice. (4) IFRS was forcibly adopted in Korea from 2011. There is a difference between the ordinary Japanese language in the old Korean society under the Empire of Japan and the language of business (accounting) in present-day Korean society. But the two languages belong to the same category as unified languages. As an aside, it should be noted that the ordinary Japanese language under the Empire of Japan was a heteronomous (violent) unified language in the Classical Age. On the other hand, IFRS in present-day Korean society is an autonomous (neoliberal) unified language in the contemporary age. (5) If accounting is ?the language of business?, money is ?the language of the economy?. Two different money views can be identified, viz., ?money veil theory? and ?money illusion theory?. The former corresponds with the theory of meaning as substance, and the latter corresponds with the theory of meaning as relation. Money illusion is a phenomenon in which the nature of language behind the theory of meaning as relation occasionally appears on the surface. If this is correct, money illusion is more likely to be ?proper perception? than ?illusion?. (6) The achievement of one common language is a dream of humankind, but it is hard for us to expect this dream to be realized. This is because the meaning of words depends on relation, not on substance. The euro is one common currency (one common language) in the economy of Europe. The International Accounting Standards (IFRS) aim to become the one common language of business in the world. When we examine our attitude towards the International Accounting Standards (IFRS), today?s economic crisis in the EU does not seem to be ?someone else's problem? for accountants.

本研究では韓国内乗用車リピーターの企業ブランド選択行動に基づき企業レベルのマーケティング戦略とライフ・スタイル・グループにともなうセグメント別マーケティング戦略の樹立方向を提示した。実証分析結果を基礎に,乗用車リピーターのライフ・スタイルを「理性的リーダー型」,「現実満足型」,「先導的成就型」,そして「経済的情報追求型」等の4種類に区分した。 ライフ・スタイル・グループ別特性と適切なマーケティング戦略を提示すると以下のようである。「理性的リーダー型」顧客は外国産自動車ブランドよりは韓国産自動車企業ブランドの中で大型乗用車を選好し,彼らの中ではブランド転換顧客が比較的多く,短期的成果を得ることができるマーケティング努力が必要なことが分かった。「現実満足型」顧客は市場に出た時期が古くなり比較的大衆的なブランドを利用する傾向が顕著で,彼らには攻撃的マーケティングよりは該当ブランドを選択した既存顧客を最大限活用するマーケティング戦略が要求される。一方,「先導的成就型」は韓国の乗用車市場でオピニオンリーダーの役割をする顧客として,感性的な傾向が顕著であり,彼らには製品の品質だけでなく,特にデザインとスタイルなど感覚的な側面を強調する必要がある。また「経済的情報追求型」顧客は「先導的成就型顧客」と似た特性を持つが,経済性をより一層考慮することが明らかになり,彼らには経済的側面が伴った感性的なマーケティング戦略を駆使すべき必要がある。
