  13. 2Background on Investment Growth in Japan 12 Postwar Japanese Economic Development 1956－1973 Era of Rapid Economic Growth (until the 1st Oil Shock) Keywords:Promotion of HeavyIndustries， “Three Holy Durables” (black and white TV, washing machine, refrigerator) 1974－1991 Era of Moderate Economic Growth (until the end of Bubble era and Beginning of “The Heisei Recession”): Keywords:Promotion of High-tech and high-precision Industries， “3C’s”(car, cooler (=air conditioner), color TV) 1992－2001 Era of Long Term Stagnation (until the advent of Koizumi regime): Keywords:Globalization raised Concerns about the flight of Important Economic Resources from Japan, IT Revolution 2002－Era of Economic Revitalization Keywords; Export-driven economic growth （Increase of Overseas Demand）and Private Sector Activities But now, effects of former PM Koizumi’s Structural Reforms seem to be shrinking,,,

  14. 13 Factors related to the Return of High-tech Factories to Kansai 1.Correction of three ‘excess’ problems companies’ excess deficits, excess employees, excess equipment 2.Severe competition among companies due to globalization -background- Rapid technological innovation in IT & Electronics Industry Increased purchasing power of newly industrializing economies 3. Deregulation related to factory location Restriction of Factories Act (abolished in 2002), Industrial Relocation Promotion Act (abolished in 2006), Factory Location Act(Regulations were diminished in 2004)

  16. 15 Why “Panel Bay” in Kansainow? １）Roots of Household Appliance makers Kansai is famous as the birthplace of major Household Appliance manufacturers. Panasonic, Sharp, Sanyo still have their headquarters, R&D, business functions in Kansai. Proximity to Kansai airport facilities. . 2)Revitalization by Utilization of Unused Land: Panasonic’s Amagasaki Factory → former Oil Firing Power Plant IPSAlpha Technology’s Factory → former Oil Refinery Plant (plus Local Governments competitive incentives) 3)Business Competitiveness as a whole (Importance of human power) There are business partners who can provide high level process management, quality management, service, as well as high level energy supply. .
