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

IQ vs Job ability

2017/5/14. Function value vs Utility value= IQ vs Job ability  ( Memo ) Function value: the variety of what I can do. Supply function. Utility value: the function of what we want. Request function. If there are a lot of supply functions , will customers ( =boss ) be happy ? It's just like a supermarket , and customers don't always go to there. Too many keys on remote control causes customers frustrating. So too many or too high function ( =high IQ ) causes others frustrating. My boss needs only answer via request function , not high IQ. It's natural. My problem is high pride and rude character. Job ability is different from IQ. Job ability is how to answer request function. High IQ doesn't mean high job ability. And if I want to get high job ability , I try to use my IQ , time & effort for something specific field. It means special liquor shops win to some supermarket. For individuals , having special ability on specific field

(Memo) Synergy of software and hardware

2017/5/14. Rethinking about the synergy of software and hardware: It's nightmare! Is there synergy of software and hardware ? 1+1= 0.1 or 0.2. Platform strategy vs Synergy strategy ? What is problem about non-synergy ? Closed system never win to open system ? Closed platform may be best answer. What is different from closed system and closed platform ? I think that the mind of administrators is problem. Closed system: Administrators want to have license of all software and hardware. Closed platform: Administrators want to have only license of hardware. Open system: Non administrators or each individuals are administrators. Open platform: Administrators want to be watchers of software. So the synergy of software and hardware means that some companies want to have licenses of all software and hardware. This is nightmare! It's natural to be failed!

OTUBONE:お局;おつぼね

2017/5/14. OTUBONE: the females who aren't high level carriers but are needed for company' compliance  Compliance... This is most important for company management.   There were the OTUBONE who protects the compliance in the company before the word "compliance " is booming in Japan. They are females who doesn't graduate high level university. They are hired for doing some odd jobs. And they used to have compliance minds. They were important for big companies , but recently big companies try to replace from OTUBONE to younger  people. This is caused by short-term solutions for long-term problems.  OTUBONEs were/are key persons for training young people. But many Japanese companies seems not realize it. ( Recently , in the company , which hired me , is trying to listen outer consulting company. This is dangerous , because consultants are clean jobs , but the company has many gray zones. )

2017/5/14. Where does smart scientists go from Japan ? 2 If they don't have house loans , they will go to EU or USA with family. But if they have , they will be hired by Korean or Chinese company. It takes 4-5 hours to go to Korea from Tokyo. And it is low psychological problem to go. But if Japanese go to EU , it takes more than 24 hours. It is high psychological problem. Near country can get smart scientists from Japan.

Where do smart scientists go from Japan?

2017/5/14. TOSHIBA problem Short-Term solution to Long-Term problem... This is problem. And the symbol of it is TOSHIBA window-dressing problem. Japanese moral becomes worse than before old bubble. Many CEO ran to Short-Term solutions , and it caused many problems. Now they hits Japanese economy. I wonder that HITACHI has same problem or not. I think that TOSHIBA and HITACHI have same problem. I wish this is not real. And if HITACHI made window-dressing problem , it will be big problem for Japan. Because HITACHI hires a lot of smart scientists , so they lose their jobs , and some people go to China , Korea or foreign countries. And the loss of smart people causes Japanese offensive ability on economy weaker.

Cigarettes: iQOS vs others

2017/5/14. Cigarettes company: iQOS vs others Philip Morris company 's iQOS , this is great! I sometimes use it as alternative to normal cigarette. I don't know why iQOS is great , but I realize that it makes less smoke is great point! Normal cigarette makes too much smoke , and it causes other people irritating. I use iQOS if there are non-smokers.  And iQOS becomes special brand name for smokers. This is good for Philip Morris company! In Japan , this new cigarette is some booming , and it keeps little longer!

Economy is war

2017/5/13. Economy is war Economy became war.  Ability to acquire foreign currency is offensive ability. Ability to protect own currency is defensive ability. How to get and protect money is war.  Japanese tactics is get higher offensive ability by exporting. This is old and there are too many rivals , Korea , China and so on. Some Japanese companies becomes investment companies. For example , TOYOTA invests to the Mexico for exporting cars to the USA.  Becoming investment country is one solution for Japan. The problem is how to hide the strategy from foreign rivals. This problem may be realized by President Trump... And as individuals , we can get ability to acquire foreign currency by investment. Japanese interest rates are very low and the Yen value becomes cheaper. So we should invest to foreign countries. If we have this ability , it helps life as richer.

Bank of Japan

2017/5/13.  Bank of Japan  Bank of Japan has many Japanese bonds , and if interest rates becomes higher , bank of Japan lose their balance on sheet. It causes cheaper Yen and capital flight , because bank of Japan loses credit. ( Just my opinion ) NIKKEI average score is fixed under $180. There is some specific cash flow , it is that NIKKEI becomes higher , it causes Yen cheaper and foreign currency in Japan may be lost. This flow stands on Japanese ability of selling to foreign countries. This ability is ability to acquire foreign currency. If this ability is lost , Japan lose. And now , Japanese companies rides on cheaper Yen. This situation is dangerous. Cheaper and cheaper Yen , Japanese companies need , makes normal Japanese people's lifestyles cheaper. And NIKKEI average score rises as fake , it doesn't connect to normal Japanese lifestyles. I sometimes hear that although NIKKEI average score rises , the life doesn't change. Almost

Growth without "innovation": Is this impossible?

"Innovation" is magic word, and is used as powerful medicine in economy. I think that "Innovation" is escape word for shrinking economy. And innovation is used as new awesome technology. Our economy can't be bigger, because there is no one who makes "Innovation". If some say these words, I think that the problem is in their solid head. Everybody can create innovation, but no one can create innovation in this solid system in Japan. There is no law that forbid to the old people creating "innovation". Solid system in our head, the problem is this. Growth without innovation is possible, if we don't call that innovation is changing system.
