Abstract

South Africa is considered as the very modern state in Africa. However, due to apartheid policy for years, black people have had little opportunity to get skill training and up-skill. Therefore, the gap in wages and quality of life between white and black people has widened to more than ten times. It has become social issue; need to be improved urgently from humanitarian and economic standpoint. Our government aim to transfer japanese industrial technology and technical skill to developing countries, develop human resources for poverty reduction and foster Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. In the meantime, we try to promote GLOBALIZATION of Japanese Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in the area. In considering of demands of developing countries, we are going to report the results of field study in this country in the 1^<st> International conference on Business and Technology Transfer in Kyoto University on October 2002.
