Second, by reviewing the history of development of the Japanese economy and globalization of
certain corporations, we will try to understand the essential conditions for economic development
and globalization, and try to catch the key clues to successful economical development and
globalization of developing countries.
Third, through the observation and overview of the economic development of so called emerging
