How has Japan become so successful in the Hi-Tech Industry?

        In the hi-tech industry, Japan again leads ahead of all other countries and is arguably the most successful department in Japan that has contributed the most to them becoming a prosperous country. There are many reasons for why Japan has turned into a successful country particularly in the hi- tech industry, but there is one main characteristic that has helped most making the nation successful. That is that the whole industry of technology is joined together like a web, the smaller companies provide products for slightly larger companies, and the slightly larger companies provide products for the bigger companies. This goes on until the leading companies also receive products from the slightly smaller companies linked with them. This means the entire industry, from the small unknown companies to the huge leading companies, are working together in making new technology for Japan and the world.  

        Another reason for why Japan has become the most successful country in the hi-tech industry is because of the very hard working staff the companies employ. The staff employed are all hard working and are encouraged by their bosses to work all day. It has been known in Japan that the work has been so tense workers have committed suicide due to stress. Also the staff have no holidays and they are also encouraged by their bosses to take part in team activities with their colleagues. This means the staff are expected to go on company holidays with each other and after working hours go out together. Also, there is a strong link between the staff and the bosses as they eat with each other and talk freely about their ideas and opinions of conditions at the work. This way of working has been copied across the world as it has been so successful in Japan.

        In conclusion, I feel Japan has become so successful in the Hi-Tech industry because of the strong, web like, link between the huge leading companies and the small companies. This means the different companies rely on each other to stay in business and become successful. Which, in turn, means every company works hard for each other, which produces a hard working successful industry.
