In the early modern period, relations between the Netherlands and Japan were founded on trade. The Dutch United East India Company operated in Japan for over 100 years, from 1609 to the early 18th century. The Dutch-Japanese relationship--built sometimes on understanding and at other times on resentment--is recorded in great detail in the trade-related archives of the period. This book closely examines these documents to reveal the changing market conditions of the main commodities exported by the Dutch from Japan at the time: silver, koban (gold), copper, and camphor. This analysis of both Dutch and Japanese perspectives on the trade market forms an intricate picture of the cultural, political, and economic context of trade between the Netherlands and Japan in the early modern period.

Dieses Buch versucht, einen umfassenden Überblick über die industriellen Prozesse großer Volkswirtschaften und ihre Integration in der Welt zu geben. Es bietet einen Einblick in die Industrialisierungsfortschritte des Quartetts USA, China, Deutschland und Japan, die alle durch unterschiedliche handels-, steuer- und industriepolitische Maßnahmen individuelle Industrialisierungserfolge erzielten, deren grundlegende Prinzipien auf die zivilisatorischen Wurzeln der jeweiligen Nation zurückgeführt werden können. Die Kombination ihrer Industrieproduktion führte zu einer integrierten Form der internationalen industriellen Verteilung. Das derzeitige Verteilungsmuster ist zwar hochproduktiv, führt aber zu einer ungleichen Verteilung der Gewinne auf verschiedene Regionen, Branchen und gesellschaftliche Gruppen innerhalb der einzelnen teilnehmenden Nationen und zwischen den beteiligten Volkswirtschaften. Um die ungleiche Verteilung des Nutzens sowohl auf nationaler als auch auf internationaler Ebene anzugehen, haben die großen Industrieländer eine Vielzahl von politischen Maßnahmen ergriffen, die sich auf das industrielle Ökosystem und die Ergebnisse des Portfolios auswirken werden. Das Buch soll den Lesern helfen, bessere Anlagestrategien und ein solides Risikomanagement im Kontext der Ungewissheit zu entwickeln und in den kommenden Jahren erfolgreich durch unruhige Gewässer zu navigieren.

Dieses Buch konzentriert sich auf die aktuellen Spannungen zwischen China und den USA im Zusammenhang mit dem Handelsungleichgewicht und erörtert Chinas Öffnungsstrategie im Kontext dieses Handelskonflikts. Das Buch gliedert sich in zwei Teile. Im ersten Teil legt der Autor eine detaillierte Analyse des aktuellen Stands der Handelsbeziehungen zwischen China und den USA vor und beschreibt die möglichen Auswirkungen von Handelskonflikten zwischen China und den USA. Zu den in diesem Teil behandelten Themen gehören die Neuschätzung des US-Handelsdefizits mit China, Chinas Status als Nicht-Marktwirtschaft, die Auswirkungen der bilateralen Investitionsabkommen zwischen China und den USA auf Chinas verarbeitende Industrie sowie die geschätzten Wohlfahrtsverluste und -gewinne, die sich aus dem Handelskrieg zwischen China und den USA ergeben. Teil II untersucht Chinas mögliche Reaktion und Entwicklungsstrategie im Kontext der De-Globalisierung. Ausgehend von einem Überblick über die drei Phasen der chinesischen Wirtschaftsreform und Öffnungspolitik in den vergangenen vier Jahrzehnten erörtert der Autor die künftigen Aufgaben, die das Land in eine neue Phase der umfassenden Öffnung führen würden. Schließlich wird in dem Buch die Rolle der Handelsabwicklung, der Handelsliberalisierung und der Unternehmensleistung bei der Förderung von Chinas wundersamem Wirtschaftswachstum umfassend untersucht, um ein besseres Verständnis von Chinas Erfahrungen mit der Öffnung in den letzten vier Jahrzehnten zu fördern.

In diesem Buch wird das Potential von ¿Industrie 4.0¿ analysiert und bewertet. Dabei zeigt sich, dass sie in einigen ökonomischen Sektoren nur teilweise sinnvoll ist. Insgesamt gesehen erweist sich ¿Industrie 4.0¿ nach dieser Analyse als nicht so entscheidend wie Innovation durch Forschung und Entwicklung bei Werkstoffen und Materialien. Allerdings zeigen der Transfer von Forschungsinstituten zu Unternehmen und das Management von Innovationsaktivitäten in den Unternehmen theoretische und praktische Lücken auf. Trotz dieser Probleme gelingen doch viele Innovationen. Eine neue Analyse-Perspektive zeigt, wie vor allem kleine und mittlere Unternehmen in Deutschland durch Innovationen Wettbewerbsvorteile erzielen, aber auch, warum sie scheitern.
