		The situation is uniformly dismal, however, for banks, property companies, and large construction companies, none of which have yet restructured, and for small and medium-size companies across the board, which are dependent on banks for financing.

	The Turning Point of Japanese Software Companies -- Can they compete in the prepackaged software environment in an era ...
		Because even Japanese companies that belong to the same industrial sector usually have different management policies and organizations, it makes more sense for the processes and their supporting software to be customized than to be purchased as prepackaged programs.

		Since most Japanese employees work for the same firm for their entire careers, Japanese companies tend to develop their own distinct, inbred corporate cultures.
