And because they are demanding more as consumers. By Janet Rorholm Kansan staff writer The younger generation does not have the same work ethic of the older generation. That work ethic is responsible for Japan's success, Tanaka said. Speakers at alumni event address trans-Pacific relations The United States and Japan are partners, but to make the partnership work, the two nations need to reduce the friction between them, said Anthony Redwood, professor of business. Redwood and Norihito Tanaka, visiting scholar-in-residence from Kanagawa University in Japan, discussed this problem at a seminar titled: "The United States and Japan, 1992: Partners or Protectors? Prospects for the os." The two professors talked about the lack of understanding between the two nations to about 20 business school alumni Saturday morning at International Room in the Kansas Union. All Japan is guilty of is making a high-quality product and selling it at a competitive price, Redwood said. If the United States wants to compete with Japan it must change its outdated style of manufacturing and improve its educational training system. Mass production with unskilled laborers was successful during the past 90 years, but today's consumers are becoming more sophisticated, he said. They are demanding a quality product. This attitude change, coupled with a drastic labor shortage, is a concern for demand. "I am confident that the United States will respond to the challenge, with one caveat — it must figure out what the challenge is first," he said. "The challenge has not yet been articulated, but it is getting more apparent. It is economic competitiveness." The key to Japan's success is its ability to change. Redwood said. Japan has had to be more flexible because it has relied on world trade more heavily than the United States, he said. The Japanese have had to watch consumer behavior outside their own country. Redwood said the United States could reduce some of the friction by realizing that it must improve eroding productivity in its own way instead of looking at Japan as an example. Tanaka said, "To reduce the perception gan, we must understand each other." Japan is concerned with today's young generation, he said. Japan is struggling to improve the quality of life by spending more time with the family, increasing living space and raising income, Tanaka said. Most Japanese are poor and goods in Japan are expensive. He said many Japanese were jealous of the high quality of life that Americans had. Japan's challenge for the future was to improve its quality of life while trying to maintain its high productivity. MAY 9TH 1992 BLUES TRAVELER THE SAMPLES COL.
