Abstract

During recent years Japanese products have made such an impact in foreign markets that the economies of all western countries have been seriously affected. Some markets are now completely dominated by Japanese goods. In Britain we have witnessed the destruction of our motor‐cycle industry; more recently, the Japanese share of our home markets for motor cars, television sets, and many other products have caused serious concern.
