Notes
1. It should be pointed out that there may be other statistical estimates of economic growth, and so on, to which attention will be drawn in the various essays in this collection, that may vary slightly from the data noted in and , due to the sources from which they are derived.
2. It is not possible to provide precise measurement of the rates of differential expansion of the different national enterprises vis-à-vis the mainly western MNCs involved.
3. The Japanese model probably lost credibility as the country's economic growth rate declined in the 1990s.

6. By 2004, the Japanese economy was however recovering and by the first quarter of the year, the GDP growth rate was over 5 per cent (see The The Economist, 26 June Citation2004: 118).
