| A number of Japanese organizations took part
in the process of the setting up of the Bulgarian Quality and
Productivity Center. Besides the Japanese Bulgarian Committee
for economic cooperation for 18 years now the following Japanese
organizations have contributed a lot to the intensification
of our cooperation:
» The
Japan Productivity Center for Socio-Economic Development (JPC-SED);
» The
Association for Overseas Technical Scholarships (AOTS);
» The
Engineering and Consulting Firms Association (ECFA) in Japan;
» The
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA);
» JETRO,
JUSE,
OVTA,
JMA
and etc.
In line with the technical assistance to Bulgaria Japan has
been sending Japanese consultants and lecturers to our country,
providing specialized literature and receiving Bulgarian specialists
for training in Japan. This makes the BQPC a factor for the
development of the Bulgarian - Japanese relations. A number
of Bulgarian firms are the subject of the consulting missions,
sent by the Japan Productivity Center. Open seminars, workshops,
symposia and other forums are organized for a large scope
of Bulgarian managers and specialists where visiting lecturers
from Japan make the various techniques and approaches, which
are typical for the Japanese style of management, more accessible
for Bulgaria. The tendency of more intensive cooperation is
in the way and new forms for its development and going deeper
are sought.
As a result from expanding the BQPC activities and in the
context of its establishment in the Bulgarian society as an
organization that has been successful in the popularization
of the Japan management, in 1993 the Management Board of the
Center took a decision to found a Japan Management Center.
The Japan Management Center has been functioning since then
incorporating the BQPC actions directed to a lasting and successful
cooperation with Japan.
