Abstract
Small and midsize companies make up 99% of Japanese industry, and are the real foundation of the Japanese economy. The high-quality goods that come bearing a famous maker''s name are seldom the product of that company''s factory -- in fact, small companies usually designed, assembled, packaged, and shipped it. These subcontractors are like serfs in a highly structured feudal system. The big companies are the daimyo -- feudal overlords who control the fates of their subjects.
