Economic Growth of Japan Introduction & Thesis Statement Japan boasts one of the strongest economies in the world. In terms of capacity, Japan's economy ranks third after the United States and China. Extensive emphasis on the technology, which acts as one of the strongest resources of the country, has thrust Japan into a world economic power. The emphasis on technology has helped Japan become one of the greatest automobile manufacturing countries. Although recently challenged by the emerging electronic and automobile technologies of Korea, Japan's highly successful electronics industry focuses on the cameras, computers, music and video-related products. International trade relations have contributed significantly to the development of the country's GDP. Japan's powerhouse economic engines – and its people – were seriously challenged in March 2011 by one of the most severe earthquakes – and tsunamis – experienced in Asia in many years. But although Japan has many government-related problems, including a struggling labor force, unemployment and disenfranchised youth, in the main Japan is bouncing back fairly well from that disaster. Thesis: Notwithstanding the calamitous 9.0 earthquake, followed by an extraordinarily destructive tsunami that wiped out entire towns and took the lives of 15,854 people (in addition, 3,155 are listed as missing) – and caused radiation from a nuclear plant to be leaked into the air and the sea – Japan is coming back strong. The people of Japan are well educated, proud and resilient, and based on the economic structure it has worked hard to develop since the end of WWII, and notwithstanding temporary problems with unemployment and cutbacks by the government of certain benefits for workers and welfare recipients, Japan has the capacity to continue uninterrupted as a world economic power.

Many people go to university for economic reasons and hopes of earning higher incomes, and they are afraid that if they do not they will only be able to find some low-paying job in the service sector, like a convenience store or a fast food restaurant. They think they will be able to move into a higher social class and find some type of management or professional work, so upward mobility is the main reason that most people go on to higher education, unless they are already independently wealthy or have inherited a lot of money from their families. Parents also believe that, which is why they also put pressure on their children to succeed in school and move on to higher education.

The past two centuries have been characterized by an increasing amount of merger activity due in large part to the internationalization of trade, the globalization of the transportation industry and innovations in telecommunications. Mergers have been used for a wide range of purposes, including achieving a synergistic effect, breaking up corporations that have become too large and unwieldy, and to help companies expend their market share in other regions. Over time, merger activity tends to assume a pattern of waves that can be attributed to several known factors such as severe economic shock or lax government regulatory polices, but a wide range of other factors have also been shown to contribute to the cyclical pattern of wave mergers, an issue that is the focus of this study. A review of the secondary data provides a basis for the study's conclusions and recommendations presented in the concluding chapter.
