United States Japan Industry and Technology Management Training

Abstract

This report is being written to inform the Air Force of Scientific Research (AFOSR) of the activities of the MIT Japan Program during the period from September 1995 to December 1999. The MIT Japan Program was founded in 1981; its main objective was to create a new generation of "Japan-aware" scientists, engineers, and managers in this country. The intellectual focus of the Program is to integrate the research methodologies of the social sciences, the humanities, and technology to approach issues confronting the United States and Japan in their scientific and technical relations. The Program is uniquely positioned to make use of MIT's extensive network of Japan-related resources, which include faculty, researchers, and library collections. The Program disseminates to its sponsors its expertise on Japanese science and technology and on how that science and technology is managed through its three core activities, namely, education, outreach, and research.
