The brain absorption companies:Consulting Firms make the world worse

The brain absorption companies:Consulting Firms make the world worse Background I saw the news that many highly educated persons in Japan try to join in consulting firms. Their purposes may be short term profits and early retirements. I knew their purposes because I had same purpose… Consulting Firms make the world better or worse? Consulting Firms doesn’t make new products nor new fields, they only try to win competitions. They make the world worse. Brain absorption companies Consulting Firms are the brain absorption companies which absorb the thinking of business managers. Consulting Firms try to take charge of CEOs’ thinking. So that Consulting Firms absorb client companies’ brains. Consulting Firms’ arm They admire business professors’ theory. They use it as arm to client companies. However, theory doesn’t allow just one counterexample. Business professors’ theory is not to be called theory, it is to be called as hypothesis or idea (or joke). So that consulti

Bottleneck persons in workspace

Bottleneck persons in workspace I heard about essential skills in office working, English language, Accounting, and Information Technology(IT). I know they are very important skills. I thought about bottleneck persons in workspace. They lack more than one skills of those. In Japan, English language is not still essential, but Japanese language is essential. Accounting skill is alternative to cost/profit literacy. How about IT skill? Bottleneck persons often lack IT skill. IT systems are mede for bottleneck persons’ IT skill, so that bottleneck person’ IT skill will be the BOTTLENECK for the productivity of the systems. I wonder why Japan companies have lower productivity than other countries. I think that the existence of bottleneck persons causes it. There may be some solutions for bottleneck persons. 1)Re-educate about their IT skills 2)Cut bottleneck person from workspace It seems to choose 2) in other countries. But Japan companies prefer to choose 2) or low

TPP can stop the WW3

TPP can stop the WW3 Background TPP(Trans-Pacific Partnership) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Pacific_Partnership TPP is the trade agreement around Pacific Rim. Background2 USA and China have the conflict between them. This conflict has possibility about WW3. Can USA vs China turn to be USA & China? I hope Yes. It will be solved by USA and China to join TPP at the same time. TPP has rules about the trade agreements. If USA rejoins the TPP, China will be denied to join the TPP. If China joins the TPP, USA will be denied to join the TPP. So that if USA and China join TPP at the same time, this problem will be solved. Then if USA want to leave TPP, USA can’t rejoin the TPP because of the presence of China. The reverse is also true. TPP can bring USA and China bigger trades. More abstracted TPP is one example. There are some rules about the group just like TPP. Both = USA and China (1)There are benefits for both countries by joining the group. (2)There

U.S. Steel company

U.S. Steel company Background Nippon Steel bid for U.S. Steel faces Sept. 23 review deadline, sources say https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/nippon-steel-bid-us-steel-faces-sept-23-review-deadline-sources-say-2024-09-13/ I saw the news that Nippon Steel wanted to buy U.S. Steel. I felt something wrong about it. Something wrong Why could Nippon Steel bid for U.S. Steel? There are many steel companies in the world, and there are a lot of companies for the bid. The reason they didn’t bid for U.S. Steel is that there is clear risk, American minds. So they didn’t touch the risk. I saw another news in Yahoo Japan… (This news is written in Japanese language.) https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/f561c66891d402f7ec4297f9bd9c9d7ce23585ff The important point is Nippon Steel made decision as soon as possible. Furthermore, Nippon Steel aims to buy a local(USA) steel company because cheap steel products are rejected by US protectionist trade. Some points I thought some points a

The Spider’s Thread

The Spider’s Thread Background I recalled one story “The Spider’s Thread” by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spider's_Thread This story tells us about to save only his/herself is bad things. My idea This story can apply everything in our minds. Developed countries have/had tried to save only own countries. Developed countries provided fake help to developing countries for maintaining advanced position. In 21st century, the way is no use. Now, Global South appears.

Sustainable Infrastructure

Sustainable Infrastructure Sustainable Infrastructure Background I saw this news. China's drivers fret as robotaxis pick up pace - and passengers https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/chinas-drivers-fret-robotaxis-pick-up-pace-passengers-2024-08-08/ When I worked one construction company, I heard that if construction workers lose their job, they will do bad things. One idea I know there are a lot of solutions for this problem. To increase the field of construction workers is my solution. My idea is “Sustainable Infrastructure”. In Japan, it is partially permitted to use recycled aggregate to construct roads. Recycled aggregate includes old asphalt, stones and dusts. To use the recycled aggregate makes less new asphalt. This technology is sustainable infrastructure. Applying sustainable infrastructure to China I don’t know China’s road conditions and whether to use recycled aggregates or not. My idea to apply to China is that roads which are c

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Basics

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Basics Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Basics Background Chapter 11 - Bankruptcy Basics https://www.uscourts.gov/services-forms/bankruptcy/bankruptcy-basics/chapter-11-bankruptcy-basics I searched about US Chapter 11. US Chapter 11’s good points There are some good points of US Chapter 11. (1)Speed up Reorganization If almost bankruptcy company provides essential things or services, the company will raise their prices. Because the company makes up for losses. It causes the social cost higher. (2)Prevent excessive repayments US Chapter 11 can prevent excessive repayments. In Japan, if someone borrow money from a bank, he/she will need a personal guarantee. It causes to discourage entrepreneurs. (3)Visible processes and goals I heard that 99% of new companies will bankrupt. We tend to focus on rest 1%, but 99% is bigger than 1%. With the establishment of bankruptcy laws, the processes and goals will be visible. Conclusion US Chapter 11 is good law.

Rules and Power

Rules and Power Rules and Power Background I thought about treaty of mutual cooperation and security between the United States and Japan(US-JP Treaty). Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Mutual_Cooperation_and_Security_between_the_United_States_and_Japan I concerned about “in the territories under the administration of Japan” includes Taiwan or not. I don’t think the territories includes Taiwan. But I know Chinese people take Taiwan as China for granted. Rules are protected by Power Almost all rules are protected by power. If someone breaks the rules, he/she will be attacked by power. If one side breaks US-JP treaty, what will happen? If US breaks US-JP treaty, JP will protest to US. If JP breaks US-JP treaty, what will US do? I don’t want to imagine the result, and I don’t know what US will do to Japan. Taiwan’s option (A)If Taiwan people want US army to protect, Taiwan has to be

Recalled someone who has worked for himself, not for company

Recalled someone who has worked for himself, not for company Background I have worked at one construction company, and I recalled one man who has worked for himself, not for company. I made 2 pictures which show someone’s values. [Picture 1] [Picture 2] Picture 1 shows company’s benefit includes own’s benefit. Picture 2 shows company’s benefit and own’s benefit overlap. I don’t know what the one man is doing now. Priority of value If his priority of value shows A is larger than A and B(A > A & B), he will be taken advantage by outer enemies. Then why I recalled this is to see below news. Trump says he had 'very good call' with Ukraine's Zelenskiy, pledges to end war https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-says-he-had-very-good-call-with-ukraines-zelenskiy-friday-2024-07-19/ To see the news, I thought Mr.Trump will choose A more than A and B. His wife was born in east-EU, so that he can’t stop to meddle to Ukraine-Russia War. To think about this, hi
