In this essay the author is concerned with the question of what are the family business characteristics of Suntory Holdings Limited that make it an outstanding enterprise with a strong influence on the globalmarkets. Its activities as a prime source of wealth creation and employment have attracted the world’s attention to the business of the Torii and Saji Families. The group's performances of big merger and acquisition (M&A) and business investments have expanded to such a scale that its management activities have a large influence on the market. And this in turn will affect the world economy as well as the national economy of Japan. In view of its operations worldwide, it is pertinent and worthwhile to analyze its ownership structure, composition of stockholders and executive board, and management strategy in order to make clear those main features which make Suntory Holdings Limited a remarkable global economic model playing a powerful role in the 21st-century world economy.

本稿は、スピーチコミュニケーションのメタファ分析における「メタファグラム」(造語)に関連し、話者やスピーチを特定するための技術となる「比喩紋」の可能性を考察するものである。スピーチにおける概念メタファの時系列的な表出傾向の推移は、メンタルディスタンス分析によって描写できることが分かっている。ここでの議論は次の2点に絞られる。まず、(1)時系列的な推移状況を、視覚性に富む「メタファグラム」でとらえたとき、その特徴が、話者を特定しうるほどの有意性を持つのかということ。そして、(2)メタファグラムが時系列的特徴を示すとすれば、それは具体的にどのようなものなのかという疑問である。本稿では、先行研究で考察された2人の発表者による6本のスピーチを再検証の素材とし、メタファグラムを構成する個々の要素について、より詳細な統計分析を施して考察を進めた。援用したのは、相関分析、時系列分析、定常化、自己相関分析、そして交差相関分析である。その結果、得られたメタファグラムには、それだけで人物の特定を実証しうるほど統計的に有意な相関性はみられなかった。しかしその一方、メタファグラムによって記録される各メタファ要素の関連性に、隠された「時系列的周期性」が存在することが明らかになった。

Today, cloud computing is essential for our society.Cloud-based services such as mail, calendar or document production provided by Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, etc. are already common infrastructure.However, it is important to investigate both merit and demerit of introduction of the cloud computing.In this research, we focus our interest to the security of the cloud computing since it is the most concerned topic when end-user plans to introduce the cloud computing to its business.Cloud service provider should include security related terms in their Service Level Agreements (SLA).One of their guidelines is provided by METI in April, 2011.However, the guideline does not mention the difference of standpoint between vendor and end-user, or technical or economical rationality.We claim that vendor and end-user should file a "win-win" SLA to develop healthy cloud computing market.From security point of view, there are items that can be covered by SLA and hardly can be.For example, data divulgation is hardly covered, since it is difficult to estimate the affection once it happens, while data corruption or lost can be covered since it is possible to estimate the amount of damage.However, to protect end-user, it is still preferable that the SLA mentions not only limited items to protect vendor for example cyber-attacks, but also all security related requirements in order to balance end-user's convenience, cost and risk of cloud service use.

Singapore is a multi-racial, multi-cultural, and multi-lingual society founded by modernized and cosmopolitan leaders, including those people commonly known as Straits Chinese.The main characteristics of the Straits Chinese are hybridity and ambiguity of identity.In the context of Singapore’s pluralism, however, hybridity is denied at an official level.Therefore, the contribution of the Straits Chinese to the nation building of Singapore has not attracted much attention since its independence in 1965.However, in the present age of globalization, Singaporean people, as well as scholars, have taken a fresh look at the achievements of the Straits Chinese leaders such as Dr. Lim Boon Keng, a prominent reformer of Chinese society, who was born in colonial Singapore in the late nineteenth century.In this thesis, I examine the thought and activities of Dr. Lim Boon Keng in order to show that this reevaluation provides a new direction for Singapore’s pluralism.

In his Heibiron or On Preparing for War, Miura Goro, one of Generals of Meiji, made a proposal concerning the strategy of national defense. His way of thinking about this matter placed him outside the mainstream of the army because it was quite different from that of the leading faction at the period of mid-Meiji. This group of people, such as Yamagata Aritomo, Katsura Taro, envisioned a strategy of national defense in which mobile power of divisions was to be kept in proper control. In contrast, Miura stressed the importance of a defense strategy which would make it possible to destroy invading enemy or enemies most efficiently at the point where they were to land the island country. This argument led to the idea of establishing “Gokyougun” (national defense army) which consisted of one million people. In this article the author considers Miura’s notion of this strategy and his reasons for thinking it necessary, finally making clear that a radical change in the concept of war was going on in his thought and arguments.

Currently, career education is becoming very important for a university. The information literacy program occupies the very big position as the foundation of career education. In order to perform effective career education, the contents of information literacy education is important. In recent years,since “information” become a common core subject in Japanese High school, the contents of the information literacy education in a university are also changing. In this paper, we report an investigation of a university new student's information literacy capability, and discuss about change of information literacy capability before and after becoming “information” a common core subject. And from a viewpoint of career education, we propose about use of YES-Programs, and use of National Examination for Information Processing Technicians as a performance goal in an information literacy program.

In June 2006, the world's largest company, Mittal Steel (Netherlands), merged with the second largest, Arcelor (Luxembourg), forming a massive steel manufacturer occupying a 10% share of global steel production.Global-scale restructuring continues to accelerate, likely exerting a great influence on the Japanese iron and steel industry. Important issues are to preserve growth and to survive in the 21st century. As a necessary action of that purpose, it is important to maintain improvement against huge material suppliers and influential users to take the effective purchase preventive measures from huge competitors, and to build appropriate partnership with other companies.It is expected not to plan cost competitiveness predominance and scale expansion but also to take action on new issues such as the environmental safeguard in order to realize sustainable development. New value creation is demanded from the Japanese iron and steel industry.

Fukuzawa Yukichi of Japan and his Chinese counterpart Zhang Zhi Dong lived in the same era and greatly influenced youth in their respective countries. Both men published a book under the same title, An Encouragement of Learning. A major difference between the two men was namely that Fukuzawa lived abroad in Western countries whereas Zhang did not. Therefore Fukuzawa understood cultural issues imbedded in daily life which were taken for granted by Westerners. Zhang on the other hand could not understand these issues having not experienced life in Western culture.

In this essay the writer traces the historical process of the making and carrying out of policies concerning environmental protection by the Chinese government since 1980s. While making great progress in national economy, China has made efforts in the field of environmental protection for the last three decades: it has spent a large amount of money to save energy and reduce pollution. However, back in 1980s the need for economic growth came first, so the issue of environmental conservation was outweighed. Although the government came to realize the necessity of tackling the environmental problem in the 1990s, it failed to make effective, practicable and lasting policies on the matter. In the 21st century, the government has to change the situation. Confronted with the whole issues of environmentalism, the first thing that the government has to do is to modify the “Economic Development First” principle and work out the best fit between economic development and environmental protection.

Based on the framework of four fields in knowledge creation, three government financialinstitutions have been investigated.At the Development Assistance Fund of Viet Nam, only exercising field has been developed.Knowledge utilization is limited to the realm of explicit knowledge.At the Development and Infrastructure Bank of Malaysia, merely systemizing field andexercising field have been developed. Knowledge utilization is also limited to the realm of explicitknowledge.At the Development Bank of Japan, originating field and dialoguing field, as well assystemizing field and exercising field, have been developed. Both explicit knowledge and implicitknowledge are utilized for knowledge creation.There are two types of collective learning loop. Shallow loop ends only within explicitknowledge. Deep loop circulates into implicit knowledge, too. Utilization of implicit knowledge makessuch difference.Collective learning, based on the utilization of organizational knowledge, helps forecastchanges in circumstances, thereby enabling agile actions toward self-transformation.

Modularity is a technique to separate the inner structures and the interface among them by setting uparchitecture in the relationships among modules that are the constitutional units of a machine. Interfacestipulates in detail how modules interact, how they are placed (or connected), and how they exchangeinformation. By disclosing the interface the supplier can maintain specialty and differentiation and hencethe supplier can take an advantage over the users since the users must rely on them. The source of acomplex system is the complex interactions among many parts. Knowledge about a system is a complexknowledge system that involves subsystem selection to be combined and the logic that works behind thesystem, which is an implicit knowledge that is difficult to formalize and transfer. The knowledge systemis indispensible for product development projects. Modularity is considers to be inadequate forautomobiles, which need the integrity of whole product, however, modularity of core parts such ashybrid systems has been under way in Japanese companies.

The profit structure of Japanese iron and steel industry ought to be sustainable, not temporary one.The industry should not expect the demand exceeded the supply of steel, nor depend on specialprocurements, but it is necessary to accelerate thoroughness of rationalization of the industry itself andstructural reform.Amid ongoing globalization of the markets, both in production and consumption, competitions in theindustry extends not only domestic but also all over the world. In this regard, the importance and thevalidity of "reorganization" are shared concerns among the industry.This paper examines about the measures for "reorganization" of Japanese iron and steel industry.

A term "EAP(Employee Assistance Program) " has been considerably perceived by Japanesecompanies in recent years. Most of the companies may see EAP as a tool for caring the mental healthof employees, but EAP, in essence, is a very important part of business strategy. The introduction ofEAP would fulfill a crucial role of promoting the human capital management, such as productivityimprovement, prevention of talent drain, and enhancement of recruitment. It is highly desirable thatEAP would come into wide use as a part of business strategy in Japanese companies.

As far as Japanese society is concerned, Men used to looked down on Women for ages. However, the concern with Diversity Management has been growing for the last several years in Japan. Within many corporations to promote and develop the global management, there are a lot of diversities, such as nationalities, cultures or creeds, etc. Above all, Japanese excellent corporations should call for precise definitions on diversity so as not neglect it. One cannot emphasize too much the potential danger of breaking up the employee-loyalty, during the corporations have been neglecting the diversities.I found it pretty hard for companies to adapt the diversity. And so, in this article, it should be helpful to describe some important factors of being reluctant to approve of diversity. I answered that what the corporation is supposed to do about Diversity. I did not try to beat around the bush and I directly stressed that the corporation should be fair to all kinds of employees with letting go of the company-negative outlook on the diversity. In conclusion I suggested on effective merits of Diversity Management to contribute to the reinforce of global competitiveadvantages.
