Chapter 3 in Changing Japanese Business, Economy and Society, 2004, pp 40-54 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Japan is notorious for its inability to change its actions in response to emerging environmental and social problems. Some problems have remained unsolved for what seems to be an unjustifiably long period of time. This problem-solving deficiency has spread like an epidemic across many levels of society, and can be traced across a wide range of social issues, from diplomatic and educational, to environmental and health and safety.
