Description
Summary:What training does Japan do that contributes to its efficiency and productivity? How have they measured training in terms of its contribution to business efficiency? These were two main questions which Bob Duncan, Director, and George Wilkinson, Chief Training Officer, of the Iron and Steel Industry Training Board took to Japan's iron and steel industry in November 1977. A short visit cannot necessarily probe in depth but enough was gained from the visits to six companies and works, an employers' federation and a special college to indicate considerable differences between practice here and that in Japan. Bob Duncan comments on some of them.
