For anyone who thinks of the advanced economic model such as the U.K. and U.S. economies, the recent performance of Japanese Economy comes as a surprise. But now is time for us, Japanese economic historians, to think over what researches we and our teachers have done. The purpose of this paper is to investigate "the grand transformation" that is taking place in the present day and to consider what lessons can be learnt for the study of Japanese Economic History from such drastic changes. In the first half of the paper, to explain the concept "the grand transformation", I place my focus upon the analysis of the world economic situation in the 1970s and suggest that the post-war world system, of which the U.S. and the Soviet Union had been the nucleus, has been failing to funtion properly, and that this change may be accounted for ultimately by a single economic factor, the growth of the microelectronic industry. In the second half, I examine major theories concerning "the grand transformation" advocated by E. Kato, R. Boyer, and M. Piofe & C. Sabel. They point out that the stuructural changes took place in various fields which were closely related to one another. But the important aspects of the world economy, the role of Japanese economy and the growth of microelectronic industry were entirely neglected in these studies. To recognize the significance of "the grand transformation" accurately, it must be understood that the system failure is the result of the decline of U.S. economic power and that it has two major roots. Those are technological changes that have made microelectronics the key technology and the disadvantages inherited in mass production. In relation to these, a preliminary hypothesis will be provided: such new business conditions may be advantageous to Japanese style management but not to the American style one; therefore we have some new issues. It is necessary to study why Japanese style management has gained an advantage over the other style and how it has developed itself in response to existing environments inside and outside the country.
