The economic and occupational characteristics of organizations involved in biotechnology are presented using a database that features information on this area of specialization in countries where German is spoken. The outcome using regression techniques shows that the employment by industry of biotechnology is greatly varied. Smaller firms are observed to be strong in new technology. No solid conclusions, however, have been generated regarding the significance of the role of biotechnology in the future.

The task and challenge for Japan in the 21st century: an introduction
Article Abstract:
Japan's prospects following the deterioration of its asset-inflated economic bubble during the early 1990s are discussed. Economists believe that Japan will not regain the economic growth it enjoyed prior to its recession. Many Japanese firms have also begun a hollowization process by transferring most of their manufacturing operations overseas. The potential growth rate in the latter part of the 1990s is expected to fall below the average rate for international organization.
