Title Alternative 35 HoursWork a Week in the French Automobile Industry
FullText URL oer_037_4_013_035.pdf
Author Shimizu, Koichi|
Abstract The legal weekly working hours in France have been reduced to 35 hours from 2000 by the so called "Aubry’s law" of 1998. After the victory of conservatives in the legislative election in 2002, the conservative government is trying to moderate the regulation of overtime work, stipulated by the Aubry's laws of 1998 and of 2002, in order to make it a dead letter. However, the 35 hours work is not only supported by the public, but also positively accepted by big companies. In this paper, I show the real feature of 35 hours work at the company level, based on my interviews with French carmakers, Renault, Peugeot SA, and Toyota Motor Manufacturing France (TMMF), and on their unions−management agreement about the application of 35 hours law of 1998. The main results of this analysis are as follows. Firstly, the negotiations between unions and management for fixing their agreement were the occasion to revise their industrial relations, because the problem of working hours was the central issue influencing entire life of employees, and have served to stabilize their relations. Secondly, the carmakers positively evaluate the 35 hours law, because the law has allowed the flexibility of work organization, by which they can realize considerable economy of scale. Thirdly, they are receiving the government’s financial aide given to the companies, which have applied 35 hours régime and increased their employment. For these last two reasons, the carmakers are able to lower their unit labor cost in spite of the increase in the hourly wage. At the last analysis, they surely profit from the 35 hours law, and have no reason to object to it.

Title Alternative A view on incentive planning for R&D workers through a case study of the blue LED patent lawsuits in Japan
FullText URL oer_037_3_013_031.pdf
Author Fujii, Daiji|
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to bring an institutional perspective onto the recent debates about incentive planning for R&D workers in Japan. This purpose is fulfilled through a case study of the recent civil trials in which an ex−employee as a plaintiff claimed any compensation for the corporate in−house inventions about blue light emitting diodes (LED). As long as technical achievements are to belong to an individual worker, the incentive planning which his or her employer may design will have to face two difficult tasks. Firstly, marginal analyses commonly applied in micro economics have certain utilities under the strict assumption of decreasing returns to productive inputs, but not applicable, in principle, to R&D activities. It is because such features as experiential learning and teamwork by technical professionals may increase returns to marginal inputs of technical labor. Secondly, negotiation transactions on the arms lengths basis are alternatively applied instead of the first, but incur many transaction costs between opportunistic players. Recent Japan seems oriented toward the second planning arrangement, but this paper suggests that the economic assessments of corporate in−house inventions should be complemented by peer reviews on the expectation that professional communities of technical experts share certain paradigms to tell us which inventions are more nascent and valuable and which are not. So far, it is said that these peer reviews have been submitted to courts after plaintiffs file complaints for compensations, but preliminary reviews at the time of patent applications may effectively decrease the probability of unexpected lawsuits and reprieve undue legal costs.

Title Alternative The Globalization and the Transformation of Auto Parts Suppliers in the Chugoku Region : The Effects of Global Sourcing and the Module Manufacturing System
FullText URL oer_037_3_001_011.pdf
Author Ohno, Takeshi|
Abstract In the age of intense global competition, many Japanese auto makers have overhauled the Keiretsu, the long−term and strong tie between an auto maker and its parts suppliers. In the process, many companies have adapted global sourcing and the module manufacturing system. This paper shows what impacts they have had on auto parts suppliers in the Chugoku region, based on interviews conducted at two auto makers and one auto parts supplier in 2002. There are two types of outsourced parts. One are parts designed by auto makers themselves, and the other are parts designed by part suppliers and approved by the auto makers. The former type of parts are often simple but hard to transport because of their weight or size. The latter type of parts are often high in value and easy to transport. As for global sourcing, auto makers have made more progress in sourcing the latter type. As a result, many high value parts have been manufactured outside the region. The module manufacturing system involves the assembly of a group of parts by the part supplier. These core suppliers, which assemble parts sent from other suppliers, are required to have a higher capacity of technological development than ever before. As a result of this, Tier 1 suppliers, which supply their parts to auto makers directly, are dividing into core suppliers and Tier 2 suppliers, which supply their parts to Tier 1 suppliers. Thus, the module manufacturing system has modified the vertical relation among local parts suppliers. Finally, it is often said that the intense competition in auto industry promotes mergers, but this is not the case in the Chugoku region. Many local suppliers are owned by the founding family, and they often lack the mutual trust which is crucial to mergers.

Title Alternative Market Risk and Private Risk −Financial Appraisal of Investment Projects−
FullText URL oer_037_1_035_051.pdf
Author Koyama, Yasuhiro|
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to examine one of the functions which entrepreneurs may play in the course of industrial development through a case study of Japan’s RPG development race. As Japan’s toy manufacturers often said, their market was characteristic of its small size and considerable demand volatility in comparison to other consumer products. Entrepreneurs must have seen any commitment to a cutting edge product, video games, as only a gamble and therefore behaved in a trial−and−error way. Furthermore, judging from the fact that no one could imagine the video game would come to turn over ¥1500 billion in 20 years, the firm level trial−and−errors and their subsequent variety of strategies on the industry level must have been the key to understand the unexpected market growth and technical evolution. However, recent management thoughts told us that the strategic variety in an industry could be possibly indulged by various pressures towards homogeneity. Such counter powers are referred to as organizational isomorphism, strategic bandwagon effects and so on. To examine those pressures which drive entrepreneurs back and forth towards strategic variety, this paper looks at the structural characteristics which underlie the way entrepreneurs see things in an uncertain environment. The case analysis takes the view that the video game industry was so uncertain that nothing could affect so deterministically entrepreneurs’ behaviours other than their perceptions. As a conclusion here, this paper points out some tradeoffs underlying the two different strategies which the twin peaks of Japanese RPG producers, Square and Enix, employed to meet with the uncertainty of the infant RPG market. It also argues that these tradeoffs based on two different perceptions might have kept their startups from the isomorphic indulgence. As a more prospective argument, questioned is the quality of strategic variety which is often deemed as an unquestionable remedy to industrial stagnation.

Title Alternative MEDICAL STUDIES ON CHONDROITlN SULFATE (IV) DISTRIBUTION OF CHONDROITIN SULFATE LABELED WITH S(35) IN ANIMAL BODY
FullText URL pitsr_012_042_051.pdf
Author Kishida, Senzo|
Abstract 0.1 ml. of the 1% solution of chondroitin sulfate labeled with S(35) was administered to mice intraperitoneally or 0.5 ml. was given per orally with gastric tube to another gronp of mice. Each two mice were killed every one, two, six, twelve, twenty four and fouty eight hours after the injection respectively and after a series of daily injection for a week samples of blood, lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, skin, muscles bones, spleen, brain, stomach and ntestines were taken from these animals. Radioactivity of S(35) was measured by BaSO(4) method using Lanritsen's electroscope. 1) The highest activity in blood was observed by about two hours after the injection, while in per oral administration it was reached after six hours. absorption of perorally administered chondroitin sulfate was estimated to reach roughly 35% abter 6 hours. 2) The excretion of labeled chondroitin sulfate seemed to be done from kidneys. The greater part was excreted in six hours and then the decrease in the activity of kidneys became slower. 3) Muscles and skin showed a considerable activity in 1-2 hours. A marked decrease was seen after six hours, then their activity seemed to remain unchanged. 4) Radioactivity of skeleton rose gradually, reached its maximum in twelve hours, and then had a tendency to show constant value. 5) In liver, spleen and brain highest activity was observed two hours after the injection.

Title Alternative STUDIES OF THE RADIOACTIVE SPRINGS (XXXIII) EFFECT OF RADIOACTIVE THERMAL BATH ON POTASSIUM, CALCIUM, SODIUM, CHLORIDE AND PROTEIN LEVELS IN SERUM
FullText URL pitsr_012_034_041.pdf
Author Onda, Sakue|
Abstract In order to study the effect of radioactive thermal bath on mineral substances in blood, the author bathed rabbits in Misasa Hot Spring (Yamada-Yu) once daily for 5 minutes dnring the successive 3 weeks, and determined potassium, calcium, sodium, chloride and protein levels in serum before and after the bath every week. The radon content of Yamada-Yu was 300-600×10(-10) curies per liter, its water temperature being 42-44°C. at that time. In the early stage of serial baths calcium decreased, and potassium, sodium, chloride and protein content increased. But in the later stage a reversed tendency was recognized. It was concluded that radioactive thermal baths of Misasa had no peculiar effect on mineral substances in rabbit's serum, compared with the effects of the other kinds of thermal baths

Title Alternative PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF THERMAL BATHS AGAINST TOTAL BODY X-IRRADIATION CHANGES OF LIVER-CATALASE ACTIVITY IN MICE
FullText URL pitsr_012_030_033.pdf
Author Okada, Toshio|
Abstract The author investigated the effect of a series of thermal baths of Misasa, (at 37°C for 10 minutes), upon the liver-catalase activity in X-irradiated mice. The thermal baths, following LD 50 dose of X-irradiation (450r) or following a successive X-irradiation of daily 50r for 6 - 25 days decreased the liver-catalase activity more marked than control without baths. On the other hand, thermal baths prior to X-irradiation prevented the fall of liver-catalase activity in the X-irradated mice.
