Why do you want to go on an in-depth visit to Japan?

Since the beginning of the 21st century, Japan has produced an average of one Nobel laureate a year, and many of them come from companies. How strong are Japanese companies in technological innovation? In the "2022 List of the World's Top 100 Innovators" released by Clarivate Analytics, Japan topped the list with 35 perennial years, the United States accounted for 18, and China accounted for 5.

The first year of restructuring the business order after the pandemic, and the decisive year for the next 10 years, where do we go from here under the pressure of plummeting revenues and soaring costs? ...... On the other hand, neighboring Japan, which has the largest number of century-old enterprises in the world, in addition to a number of "small and beautiful" long-lived small and medium-sized enterprises, Hitachi, Panasonic, Toyota and other large multinational enterprises have obtained the "Centennial Club tickets".

Different from the familiar "disruptive innovation" represented by American companies such as Apple and Tesla, most Japanese companies adhere to lean thinking and rely on continuous "incremental innovation" on a daily basis, and finally achieve a strong technology enterprise and a strong country in science and technology.

In order to learn how Japan innovates in a lean way and how to build an "anti-aging" long-lived enterprise, from June 19 to 24, 2023, Huashi International led more than 60 entrepreneurs from Huaxia Business School to start a study tour of "Ask Japan's World Famous Enterprises".

This time, the students of Huaxia Business School went to Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Tokyo and other important manufacturing and management towns in Japan to conduct in-depth inspections of well-known Japanese enterprises, understand Japan's lean production, management technology innovation, ingenuity cultural inheritance, and explore the business wisdom of Japanese enterprises.

Students' impressions of the visit

01 About Innovation & Integrity:

The company has an innovation mechanism for all employees, so that products, categories, and production capacity continue to innovate and improve the company's reasonable profits.

Mr. Kazuo Inamori once said that what we are developing now is what the market needs in the future, and what we are doing now may be eliminated in the near future.

Only by innovation can society develop and cause progress. Innovation is always in progress, not in completion.

Let customers get satisfactory products in a timely manner, establish a good reputation with each supply chain, and commend employees in a timely manner to gain loyalty with credibility and treat people sincerely.

Sincerity and integrity, sincerity touches others, integrity wins trust.

Kazuo Inamori and Kyocera are sincere to product quality, sincerity to customers, sincerity to employees, sincerity to society, and integrity in the management of enterprises.

02 About Talent:

Increase the cultivation of talent echelon, everyone is a talent, everyone is very specialized!

Improve the team's independent innovation ability, set up a corresponding management mechanism, and make the team's brain alive and use!

3 About the spirit of craftsmanship:

Craftsman spirit, excellence, attention to detail, diligence in place, never satisfied.

When Mr. Kazuo Inamori rebuilt JAL, he went to the front line to let employees know the importance of cost, so that he could greatly reduce costs, and in just over two years, he turned a profit and went public again.

Toyota's early manufacturing of textile machines reflects that details determine success or failure.

We do not pursue short-term rapid growth, and value long-term relationships with stakeholders. The method of "height management" and "independent management" is adopted for the purpose of longevity and development of the enterprise.

04 About Legacy:

There is a strong sense of inheritance, inheritance is to discipline oneself, set an example, and attach importance to family motto and education.

Only inheritance, the cause can be evergreen, do a good job of inheritance is your task and my task, but also our social responsibility.

05 Altruism and Focus:

The company has always insisted on cultivating in its favorite fields, such as Kyocera Company, which has focused on doing one thing well for dozens of years and conducting research in the field he likes.

Kazuo Inamori's business philosophy is to respect God and love people, always for the sake of customers, for the sake of employees, to solve the problems of customers, to solve the problems of employees, and constantly upgrade products to create value for the society.
