From CSEP590TU
Avichal: IT Abroad: Japan : Topic 2
This will be my page for my selected sub-topic in the IT Abroad Project.
My country of interest is Japan.
Currently I am considering the following as a subtopic:-
- How Has Japan's IT Industry fared during it's decade long recession
- How has the private sector fared, what efforts have private IT companies made to stay competetive
- How is R&D going on. Has budget been increased/decreased for IT R&D. Has the distribution changed between applied/basic research.
- Future prospects: Could IT sector lead japan out of recession.
Other subtopics of interest:
- Japan's efforts to help it's neighbours
Japan is only 2nd (behind US) in the development aid it gives to other countries, and it is doing a lot of IT inrastructure work in neighbouring countries. Also a lot of ICT projects for education/rural development etc.
