Описание книги

"If you're as interested in Japan as I am, I think you'll find that The Power to Compete is a smart and thought-provoking look at the future of a fascinating country." – Bill Gates, "5 Books to Read This Summer" Father and son – entrepreneur and economist – search for Japan's economic cure The Power to Compete tackles the issues central to the prosperity of Japan – and the world – in search of a cure for the "Japan Disease." As founder and CEO of Rakuten, one of the world's largest Internet companies, author Hiroshi Mikitani brings an entrepreneur's perspective to bear on the country's economic stagnation. Through a freewheeling and candid conversation with his economist father, Ryoichi Mikitani, the two examine the issues facing Japan, and explore possible roadmaps to revitalization. How can Japan overhaul its economy, education system, immigration, public infrastructure, and hold its own with China? Their ideas include applying business techniques like Key Performance Indicators to fix the economy, using information technology to cut government bureaucracy, and increasing the number of foreign firms with a head office in Japan. Readers gain rare insight into Japan's future, from both academic and practical perspectives on the inside. Mikitani argues that Japan's tendency to shun international frameworks and hide from global realities is the root of the problem, while Mikitani Sr.'s background as an international economist puts the issue in perspective for a well-rounded look at today's Japan. Examine the causes of Japan's endless economic stagnation Discover the current efforts underway to enhance Japan's competitiveness Learn how free market "Abenomics" affected Japan's economy long-term See Japan's issues from the perspective of an entrepreneur and an economist Japan's malaise is seated in a number of economic, business, political, and cultural issues, and this book doesn't shy away from hot topics. More than a discussion of economics, this book is a conversation between father and son as they work through opposing perspectives to help their country find The Power to Compete.

Отрывок из книги

Daniel G. Murray has over 30 years of professional experience. Dan has seen firsthand the technical revolution in data that led to the creation of Tableau Software. Prior to starting the InterWorks Tableau/BI practice in 2008, he held a variety of increasingly responsible roles in finance, accounting, sales, and operations for a mid-sized global manufacturing company serving the heavy industry and construction markets. During the late 1990s, his employer acquired over 50 companies. Dan’s role in 2006 as the CFO/CIO led to an assignment to integrate and create a global reporting environment. Uninspired by the high cost and complicated products available from traditional vendors, Dan discovered Tableau Software through data visualization expert Stephen Few. Less than one month after downloading a trial license of Tableau Software, Dan and his team were able to successfully create a reporting platform for less than 15 percent of the cost and one-tenth the time that traditional vendors had quoted. At this point, it was apparent that everyone needed Tableau – they just didn’t know it yet.

Within months after speaking at Tableau’s first customer conference, Dan went to friend and founder of InterWorks, Inc., Behfar Jahanshahi, to convince him to allow Dan to form a boutique consulting team focusing on providing the best practices of data visualization and reporting using Tableau Software and any emerging or popular database. Since the publication of the first edition of Tableau Your Data! Dan has visited 50 cities across North America and Europe presenting over 70 speeches on data and data visualization.
