"Japanese" business practice contains the relationship not only in market, but also between government and market. The purpose of this article(report) is to examine the problem of administrative guidance as "Japanese" business practice from the perspective of the science of public administration and to make clear of its realities as much as possible.
More concretely, this article argues as follows.
1 The comparison of approach to administrative guidance: the science of law and the science of public administration
2 The problem of the administrative guidance as "Japanese" business practice:
(1) Is it really a matter of problem?
(2) Is administrative guidance effective? If so, why?
(3) How can we change the system of administrative guidance? How can we reform it?
After these arguments, this article concludes as follows.
Firstly, the interdisciplinary approach to the problem of administrative guidance will be more needed. In this sense, the role of the science of law and society will be more important. Secondly, the foreign affiliated firms in Japan do not make so much of the problem of administrative guidance or regulation by government as "Japanese" business practice. They are more interested in the practice, institution or organization in market. but thirdly, if one of the characteristics of "Japanese" business practice is the long term, successive and multi-dimensional relationship, it is adaptive to the relationship between government and market and it makes strong of the effectiveness of administrative guidance. But because the system of administrative guidance has promoted the vested interest of producers rather than consumers, many Japanese as consumers or living people come to think to reform that system.
