That looks nice on the resume, but adds up to a problem in finding space for his colorful academic hoods and coming up with acceptance speeches.

While Japan has a small army of English-speaking businessmen in the U.S. studying the American market and tailor-making products to sell in the U.S., American businesses have not made the same efforts to sell in Japan. That country is quickly becoming a market of wealthy consumers that would be attracted to American products. A new study shows that by the year 2000 the per capita income...
