Abstract:
Promotion of mutual cooperation between Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in South Africa and "Japanese Machikoujoo", well known for "back-street factories" with extremely high technology lined close together. South Africa is considered as the very modern state in Africa. However, due to apartheid policy for years, black people have had little opportunity to get skill training and up-skill. Therefore, the gap in wages and quality of life between white and black people has widened to more than ten times. It has become social issue; need to be improved urgently from humanitarian and economic standpoint. This project aims to support developing countries with required technologies of Japanese local companies and help Japanese local factories, serving as basis of Japanese industry, study in the world market to develop them selves. In the meantime, we try to promote GLOBALIZATION of Japanese Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. Considering demands of developing countries, we are going to report the results of field study in this country in the 1st International Conference on Business and Technology Transfer.
