Japan is about to overtake America to become the world leader in information technology. This book tells the remarkable story of how the Japanese did it - and reveals the techniques Japanese companies have used to displace American and European manufacturers from this critically-important industry. The vast majority of VCRs, laptop computers, photocopiers and faxes we buy today have been manufactured in Japan. They join the transistor, the colour television, the microwave oven, the microchip and industrial robots on the long list of inventions which were born in the USA, but are now made in Japan. This book brings together the different elements of the story of Japan's conquest of information technology.
