Blog: A Continuous Work In Progress

The blog is a continual work in progress. There are many articles that don't have any comments or ideas yet. Eventually all will have some kind of ideas related to the articles.

The focus is always on the practical and not so much the academic side. Business and economics are social sciences, meaning they are about companies, people, and society, and not just numbers or statistics.

Dr. Peter Drucker, while in academia for most of his life, was a prolific writer that focused on companies, business managers, and society. He didn't focus too much on writing for academics. He wrote for a wider audience, to improve businesses, managers, and society.

Dr. Drucker felt he had a higher calling to reach the widest possible audience, and not just a narrow audience of academics. Writing for academics is important, but he felt his mission was to reach those who were in business and to a wider point to those in society.

Dr. Drucker's ideas were widely accepted in Japan but not so much early on in the US. As such Japanese companies and even society accepted his approaches to how business should be run and operated.

Maybe the Japanese culture, at the time, was more in-tune with his management ideas, while it took some time for US companies to accept or understand his ideas.

The ideas of this blog again, is not so much to write like Dr. Drucker. That would be impossible, to have the exact mind and spirit of Dr. Drucker.

But to focus on Japanese business, economy, and society and just give some insights into the practical side of the above.

The ideas are not meant to be exactly academic but again practical observations of what might be going on in Japan.

The ideas might not even be exactly correct, as they are just ideas and observations.

The blog is always being reviewed and re-written as needed to get the right tone of the ideas and of course to re-write if mistakes and errors occur, which happens often and are corrected as needed.

We live in a global world, global society, or used too, and as such no country is isolated from any other country.  We live in an interconnected world.

But of course there is now a "new normal" in the global world, to be more precise a "new normal" is now a work in progress and countries, economies, and societies trying to figure out what is going on and how to move forward.

One idea of the blog is to see how Japan is moving forward in the "new normal".

The blog has tried, for the most part, to stay away from the"gloom and doom" of what is going on and try to find the positive in all things related to Japan. If that is even possible these days.

Have a nice day and stay safe out there!
