Productivity growth in Japan, as in most advanced economies, has moderated. This paper finds supportive evidence for the important role of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in explaining Japan’s modest productivity growth. Results show a substantial dispersion in firm-level productivity growth across sectors and even across firms within the same sector. SMEs, on average, exhibit lower productivity growth than non-SMEs in Japan, with smaller and older SMEs showing particularly low productivity growth. Estimates suggest that boosting productivity growth in all of the worst-performing SMEs could improve overall productivity growth by up to 1.8 percentage points. The SME credit guarantee system, SME financing constraints, demographic factors, and lack of intangible capital investment are discussed as contributors to the slow productivity growth of Japan’s small and old SMEs.

There are a lot of differences between Thailand and Japan. Both people have different culture and background. However, there are many factories of Japanese companies in Thailand and they work together. Questionnaire was enforced to analyze their differences about job satisfaction and motivation in both countries. Selected company is a Japanese manufacturing company which has factories in Thailand, too. All questions were based on the the Herzberg's motivator-hygiene model and considered well by related managers. All scores of answers were calculated and compared by T-test. Main respondents were chosen at random and many of them were young people who have some experiences in manufacturing companies. The results were different from the Herzberg's model and results of Thai people and Japanese people were also different. Thai people focus on working environment, especially salary. On the other hand, Japanese people focus on not only working environment but also working contents. Human relationships and working contents play important roles for Japanese people. The opportunities which both people work together are increasing now. Japanese people are focusing on Southeast Asia. If they can understand each other more and more, they can enjoy working and get good results of works.

Japan Foreclosed Property is a guide for English-speaking foreigners to avail of the opportunities to buy foreclosed property in Japan at a substantial discount through court-admnistered tenders. The guide provides the reader with a broad array of resources inclusive of the political, economic, social pretext for investing in property in Japan, as well as how to participate in the process, how to research, strategies, what you need to do, and how to fix up properties. The guide is targeted at English speakers, because the author purchased several foreclosed properties in Japan, and he saw the opportunity for a guide for those people who wish to live, retire or holiday in Japan, because the country is highly regarded by expatriates.
