Introduction: Alice Nakamura, a senior of the Class of 1943 at Rohwer Center High School in Arkansas, read these words at the conclusion to her graduation speech. Substantively, it sounds like any other reflection on self-identity by a second-generation immigrant. In reality, Alice's speech stands out because it was delivered from a school located behind barbed wire, where the United States government had detained her because of her Japanese ancestry. Between 1942 and 1945, the United States government removed more than 110,000 individuals of Japanese ancestry residing on the west coast to remote relocation centers located in the barren mountainous states of the American west. Deprived of their freedom, these internees found themselves faced with the challenge of carrying on their everyday lives while surrounded by barbed wire. Parents concerned about the educational prospects of their children pushed for the development of primary and secondary schools, which the administrations provided. Adults seeking to occupy their time after work and alleviate boredom initiated education programs taught by internees who possessed relevant technical abilities and academic credentials. Despite the limited freedom and control the internees had over their squalid living conditions, educational programs emerged as one area in which they were able to establish a voice for themselves and collaborate with camp authorities. Due to the wartime shortage of teachers, many young Japanese teachers staffed the primary and secondary schools. The internees completely ran the Adult Education program with only perfunctory oversight from the camp administrations. In return for this degree of autonomy, the WRA requested the establishment of Americanization classes in all levels of camp schooling. These classes focused on the dissemination of American values and preparation for life after the war. Internees had mixed reactions to these government-mandated requirements but many valuable lessons came out of these classes. Primary and secondary students had an intensely personal experience learning about democracy inside barbed wire. As these students went on to attend colleges and find jobs after internment, they took these experiences with them and crafted new and deeply personal definitions of being an American citizen. The Adult Education programs gave internees English skills and new cultural knowledge that they used in their post-war communities and to communicate with their own children. Despite the horrid conditions that the Japanese experienced in the internment camps, the education program created relatively positive interactions between the internees and the camp authorities. Although suffering from supply shortages and a high variance in teaching quality, the educational programs challenged internees to think about democracy and what it means to live in America. Japanese internees provided staffing for these programs and worked with the camp administrators to implementing the curriculums, which allowed a degree of self-governance, an uneasy feat in government-controlled wartime internment centers. The Japanese-American internment process began on February 19, 1942, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, authorizing the military to create special areas within the United States from which "any and all" persons may be excluded. The exclusion order applied to both citizens and aliens, meaning that the government intended to remove both Japanese immigrants and Japanese Americans. The former are issei, a term meaning "first-generation" in Japanese, and the latter are nisei, "second-generation." Throughout the internment process, more than 110,000 individuals of Japanese-ancestry were excluded from the zones of exclusion, often forced to sell their belongings, and relocated to barren camps established in the interior of the United States. The internment process had no pretenses of kindness - following Pearl Harbor, propaganda posters depicting Japanese as apes and other savage animals were widely distributed, and racist sentiments were openly published and distributed through the press. A selection from a San Francisco newspaper derided the Japanese during the onset of the internment process: "Herd 'em up, pack 'em off and give 'em the inside room in the badlands. [...] Let us have no patience with the enemy or with anyone whose veins carry his blood [...] I hate the Japanese." A propaganda poster distributed in 1943 titled, "How to Spot a Jap," described a Japanese as having "buck teeth" and being unable to smile because he "expect[s] to be shot...and is very unhappy about the whole thing." Even Americans from the interior expressed hostility. ...

Abstract:
Recent research at Japanese manufacturers in the UK has tended to simply focus on their employee relations practices, arguing that where they operate effectively they result in a loyal and highly productive workforce. It often goes on to point out that there is a link between these practices and the companies' production systems, suggesting that employee relations practices are an integral part of the production system at a Japanese company. However, the research fails to adequately show the implications of this link. Its attempts to examine the issue have remained descriptive, devaluing its results and conclusions. This research remedies this deficiency. The research's central argument and findings are that production systems vary considerably between Japanese manufacturers in the UK and that contrary to popular belief some of these companies' production systems display serious shortcomings. It argues that employment relations practices at these companies though an integral part of their production systems are only one of several sets of characteristics necessary to the successful operation of the company. It is also important to consider a company's organizational structure and managerial effectiveness. Strengths and weaknesses in these other production system characteristics affect employee responses to a company's employment relations practices, impeding or assisting the intended improvement of individuals in the performance of their work. Either a vicious or virtuous circle can therefore emerge since employee responses to a company's employment relations practices will further contribute to its production performance. Testing this argument involves the design and use of an innovative model that identifies the key characteristics necessary for the production system at a Japanese manufacturing transplant in the UK to perform efficiently. Identification of these characteristics allows the model to be used as a benchmark against which to compare the production systems of Japanese manufacturers. The research applies the model to the production systems of nine Japanese companies in the UK's consumer electronics sector and identifies a number of differences in their production system characteristics. Two of these nine companies are then selected as case studies and their production systems are examined in detail. In addition, workforce reactions to the employee relations practices at these two companies are also measured using questionnaire and interview data. The results confirm the research's argument that the closer a company's manufacturing system comes to displaying the model's full set of production system characteristics, the more likely it is that its employee relations practices will elicit workforce attitudes and behaviour desired by the company.

Abstract:
The complexity and pace of technology, combined with the strategic importance of technology, has created a dilemma for most organisations. The requirement is to be able to take advantage• of the latest technology and state-of-the-art practices. So, instead of trying to be experts in both their core business and technology, executives focus their attention on the core business and rely on others to provide the technology expertise. Healthy and profitable Japanese companies are beginning to view outsourcing as an essential .part of their business strategy. They are looking for outsourcers to deliver key components of data processing, supply-chain management, warehousing, logistics, human resources, accounting, and other vital components of their business. By divesting themselves of these non-core activities, companies are realising they can focus their energy on areas where they have the competitive advantage, differentiate themselves from their competitors, and take advantage of the cost-savings from the outsourced functions. Outsourcing relationships, however, demand the same care and attention to sound management principles and practices as in-house operations. Managed well, continuous improvement, increasing value, and constant innovation can be expected. Managed poorly, the services and overall relationship deteriorates resulting In higher costs, operational disruption and lost business opportunities. The dramatic structural and economic changes in the Japanese finance sector over the past decade have created opportunities for multinational corporations to leverage their best practices and economic value creation into the market. Japanese multinational information technology executives in this e-business economy must thus deliver information technology services and systems as seen in an environment of changing business opportunities and challenges, accelerating technologies, short product delivery cycles and evergrowing business demands for e-business, ecommerce, ERP, ASP and other applications. Like no other time in Japanese history, outsourcing strategies and practices, and effective relationship management are critical to business success. Properly crafted and managed, an outsourcing relationship can increase flexibility, improve performance and permit a better focus on core competencies. To bridge the gap between the ideal state and the present state as determined by the empirical study, a SG offshore information processing outsourcing model is proposed. The SG model and principles deliver a framework and structure for outsourced offshore information processing services to the Japanese finance sector multinationals. The SG model supports three different roles within an organisation, namely as a support to business strategy, as the implementer of business strategy, and as the driver of business strategy.

Abstract:
Japanese-style management has attracted a lot of attention from managers, business executives and scholars worldwide. The sudden intensity of interest in the so-called Japanese Management Model has been partly due to the rapid ascendancy of Japan as, a leading economic superpower in a relatively short period after her humiliating defeat in the Second World War. In 1982, Malaysia officially launched the "Look East" policy to emulate the Japanese by adopting Japanese-style management practices. It was believed that by adopting Japanese-style management techniques, the Malaysians can replicate the Japanese success. This study aims to discuss what constitutes Japanese-style management and also to determine if it can be transferred to the Malaysian public enterprise sector. From this study, it was revealed that only some elements of Japanese-style management are transferable to Malaysian public enterprises. There is a number of problems encountered in trying to transfer the Japanese practices to Malaysian public enterprise sector, especially if they are not compatible with the Malaysian values. The problems of transferring Japanese management techniques across national boundaries are further compounded when the transfer is from private sector to public sector. Even in the case of Japan, her public enterprise sector does not even have a reputation of efficient management. It was also found that despite the official policy and persistent effort towards "Japanisation" by the government, the majority of Malaysian workforce still prefer the present existing management system. To some extent, the study has provided some answers to questions regarding the feasibility of adopting the Japanese-style management. But most important of all, the study has revealed that Japanese-style management is not a panacea to the problems confronting the public enterprise sector in Malaysia.

Abstract:
The current study has attempted to answer the question whether there is an interaction between the Aspect Hypothesis and the Discourse Hypothesis by investigating the use of Japanese tense-aspect morphology by native speakers of English learning Japanese as L2. These two hypotheses were argued for independently in previous studies, but never consolidated to account for the distributional pattern of L2 tense-aspect morphology. The Aspect Hypothesis claims that the L1 and L2 learners initially mark lexical aspect of the verbs with tense-aspect morphology; they tend to associate past with achievement verbs and progressive with activity verbs. On the other hand, according to the Discourse Hypothesis, the learners use the tense-aspect morphology to distinguish grounding; they tend to mark foreground with past more frequently than background. The current research used two methods: a multiple-choice task and a storytelling task. The former task was referred to as Study 1. The use of tense-aspect morphology in the story-telling task was analyzed in terms of lexical aspect, referred to as Study 2 and grounding, referred to as Study 3. Study 1 and Study 2 examined whether the use of tense-aspect morphology is different in obligatory contexts and in narrative discourse. The results of Study 1 supported the Aspect Hypothesis; L2 learners initially associated past inflection with achievement verbs and tended to mark the process encoded in activity and accomplishment verbs with present durative. The results of Study 2 supported the Aspect Hypothesis as regards the association of activity verbs and present durative. However, the frequent marking of past on achievement verbs across the proficiency levels suggest that the textual function of tense-aspect morphology plays a role in narrative discourse. Study 3 argued that the Japanese tense-aspect morphology weakly mark grounding. Finally, I claimed that the Aspect Hypothesis and the Discourse Hypothesis account for the different acquisition stages of the L2 tense-aspect system. There is a time lag among the tense-aspect morphemes in the process of acquisition; past marking functions as the temporal and textual device in narrative discourse at the relatively early stage while present durative remains as the marker of lexical aspect.

With the rise of urban history and cultural preservation consciousness, the public sector and the people gradually pay attention to the historical space reuse. The public sector plays a very important role in the process, and the decisions made at each stage also affect the presentation of results. Although the Yunzhong Street and the Hinoki Village are both Japanese style wooden dormitories during the Japanese occupation period, there are still differences between the executive units and the activation and reuse content, and how the public sector can maximize its efficiency in the mechanism. The preliminary findings of the public sector roles of the two cases of activation and reuse were as follows: (1)Group historical buildings in urban space: Both cases are based on the premise of preservation and redevelopment, the overall consideration drives the redevelopment of the town. Its advantages are combined with the establishment of resources and the principle of restoration. However, because of the different units of execution, they have different orientations, which are divided into cultural orientation and commercial orientation. (2)The role of the public sector: Different execution units make the implementation method different. The Cultural Assets Department of the Yunlin County Government Cultural Department is a supportive role in the Fan Texi minimally invasive culture. In terms of operation, the cultural orientation is longer; the business orientation is shorter, and finally it becomes the operator of cultural conservation. The management of the Chiayi Forest District of the Hinoki Village is in the hands of the active guidance role, The cultural orientation is shorter; the business orientation is longer and becomes a commercial cultural person. The central government has abundant funding and power; local governments have professionals with relevant backgrounds. The public sector should make a complete assessment report during the preservation phase, understand the orientation, and find a good team to activate and reuse, so that the historic buildings no longer fall into idle space. In the process of the public sector, the leadership team conducts overall planning, listens to the opinions of various units, and communicates in a timely manner. Coordinate with the operating organization to play a culturally and knowledgeable role, Promote cultural assets-related information to education and achieve sustainable development with appropriate commercial activities.

TFT-LCD industry always suffers from the unbalance of demand and supply. Therefore, in order to sustain its daily operation TFT-LCD firms look for reducing production cost,one of which solution is to decrease defects from production, to enhance the efficiency of equipments and to promote the utilization of production. How to increase the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of a TFT-LCD factory becomes an important issue for the TFT-LCD production. This research is mainly to take the TFT-LCD - glass manufacturer as an example. TPM is considered as a useful way to increase OEE of the TFT-LCD production.Based on TPM, the construction of equipments can be improved , the defects can be cleaned out, and the production loss will be decreased deservedly. In additional, the spirit of seeking the Zero Defect, Zero Break Down, and Zero Disaster may be taken as the management target. A practical process of implementation of TPM is also proposed. The conclusion of the case is to provide the enterprises,which determin to use TPM, as a reference to understand the requirements and preparation of TPM activities.Through the management mechanism of 5S objectives and the influence of each step in promoting TPM,explore how to foucs on important issues by TPM.
