Abstract

Japan, where manufacturing is the core industry, is founded on Monozukuri†, since it has abundant human resources and few mineral resources . In the near future, the import of mineral resources and raw materials, including rare earth elements, tends to become even more restricted. With this background, Japan has to find ways on how to conduct "natural-resources diplomacy," how to minimize the use of rare earth elements, how to develop alternative materials and recycle technology, and how to build its system. Inevitably, Japan will have to consider its circumstances, while giving answer to these questions, in order to ensure a continuous growth.<BR>Those who will plan a variety of strategies of growth and implement them need to be blessed by qualities of an entrepreneur. The natural-resources diplomacy, the minimization of the use of rare earth elements, the development of alternative materials and recycling technology, and the formulation of its system - all are difficult challenges. An answer to those issues cannot be obtained easily, unless we try to make plans again and again, untiringly continuing to tackle the difficult tasks. Therefore, Japan is most likely to nurture entrepreneurs with indomitable spirit in the process of seeking its strategy of growth. Continuing to overcome difficult tasks is the only way for Japan to grow; otherwise, the problem over natural resources cannot be resolved.<BR>† Monozukuri can be translated as "production" or "manufacturing" but includes both tangible and intangible qualities.
