How has Japan become a major economic power, a world leader in the automotive and electronics industries? What is the secret of their success? The consensus has been that, though the Japanese are not particularly innovative, they are exceptionally skilful at imitation, at improving products that already exist. But now two leading Japanese business experts, Ikujiro Nonaka and Hiro Takeuchi, turn this conventional wisdom on its head: Japanese firms are successful, they contend, precisely because they are innovative, because they create new knowledge and use it to produce successful products and technologies. Examining case studies drawn from such firms as Honda, Canon, Matsushita, NEC, 3M, GE, and the U.S. Marines, this book reveals how Japanese companies translate tacit to explicit knowledge and use it to produce new processes, products, and services.

Organizational Culture, Transformational Leadership, Work Engagement and Teacher's Performance : Test of a Model

The purpose of this study is to provide an insight into the government’s need for sustainable socialization on the importance of paying taxes. This study also aims to analyze the taxpayer's awareness, whether it can mediate the knowledge and understanding of tax regulations on taxpayer compliance or not. The approach in this study is quantitative, with taxpayers as the respondents. The results show that knowledge and understanding of tax regulation and awareness of taxpayers simultaneously contribute to taxpayer compliance. Also, indirectly, knowledge and understanding of tax regulation in the society through the awareness of taxpayer do not have significant influence on tax compliance. Based on the questionnaire, the people have not fully mastered the tax administration using information technology and they have not fully realized the importance of paying taxes for the progress of the nation, due to the different demographic background. This study offers a new understanding and a better perspective of the influence of knowledge, understanding, and awareness of taxpayer compliance. The results will be useful for academics, communities, and governments as they are related to the subject of this study.
