Abstract
Management of companies is now faced with a need for sweeping review as a result of the introduction of computers and the higher educational background of office workers. A new type of one-man company (called "Hitori-Kigyou") has recently appeared in japan, where the lack of other workers is compensated for by information technology and the use of computer networks. This study is designed to prove the hypothesis that the "Hitori-kigyou" is an effective way of management and that the best way to realize it is to develop and nurture one-man companies. It was disclosed that some of the new technological industries showed little resistance in accepting the above hypothesis and belive that development and fostering of one-man company activities would be extremly useful for the overall economy.
