42、nal companies to conduct business within their borders and the use of licensing agreements. Japan ranks high among the nations that have gone to some lengths to keep foreign-owned companies out of industries connected with national defense. And the case of Japan is commonly cited for the idea that s

43、uch a policy is feasible. In this case, multinational ownership is not important for the efficient transfer of technological information between nations; the use of licensing agreements is just as efficient.For over a hundred years Japan has consistently spent large sums of money and considerable hu

44、man resources in an effort to obtain technology. Her ability to negotiate has been strengthened by the fact that most of the technology she wanted was not very secret. Japans position has also been strengthened by the fact that her internal market was large, so that access to this market could be of

45、fered to multinational companies as an incentive for them to grant licenses. Besides, Japans work force was literate and disciplined, so it was capable of applying the information it acquired. Finally, American and European companies might take a large share of the world market if they were not limi

46、ted by licensing agreements. Conditions Of this sort, coming together in one nation, may well be unique, and the case of Japan may therefore not actually demonstrate that licensing is just as efficient as multinational ownership for the transfer of technology.In fact, Japan may be finding this metho

47、d of operation less effective than in the past, as her needs for outside technology now require information which belongs to only a few companies and is more closely held.Furthermore, her need to use the markets of other countries is beginning to weaken its negotiating power she once had because of

48、her control of her access to her internal market.85 Which of the following is NOT a reason for foreign companies to be willing to license the use of their technology?（A）The technology required by Japan is not very secret.（B） It might be easier for foreign companies which has transferred technology t

49、o Japan to enter the Japanese market.（C） Japan possesses high-quality workers.（D）Licensing help Japan in expanding into the world market.86 Japan is cited as an example of _.（A）how to keep the internal market to Japanese companies（B） how to obtain technology from abroad（C） the success of multinational ownership（D）using licen
