Silicon Samurai: How Japan Conquered the Worlds IT Industry

Japan is about to overtake America to become No 1 in information technology. This book tells the remarkable story of how the Japanese did it, and reveals the techniques Japanese companies have used to diplace American and European manufacturers from this critically important industry.
This enthralling book by one of the world′s leading authorities on the IT industry brings together for the first time the different elements of the frightening story of Japan′s conquest of information technology. If America and Europe continue on their present course and pursue business–as–usual policies, says Tom Forester, then by far the greater part of the IT industry will slip inexorably into the hands of the Japanese, and Japan′s economic triumph over the West will be complete.
