Checkout the research shown in this TED video clip (see link below) found on YouTube.
Why do I talk about it here; what is Japanese about it? Both cultures (Western and Japanese) hit on the same note - when you don't know the answer to a problem, look to nature.
The fact is, Western cultures are usually superior to Japanese cultures in the field of idea generation. Japanese technology development strength typically lies in the capability to perfect good ideas.
Japanese are excellent at what is known in Japan as monozukuri, or the way of making things. The way they think through issues and apply logic allows them to investigate an idea in minute detail to clearly understand the physics behind it and to then apply the same logic in the process to make it reliably.
So the point is - use the best of both cultures for optimum benefit.
Capitalize on the idea generation capability of the West and add to it the analysis and monozukuri capability of the Japanese technology culture to create a world class technology engine second to none.
