What causes regions such as Kyoto (city and prefecture) to create a self-sustaining critical mass, or cluster, of new venture start-ups in emerging sectors? Can this success in ‘clustering’ entrepreneurial businesses be replicated elsewhere? What are the most effective ways to connect fledgling firms to critical resources? This article examines life science (biotechnology and medical device) start-ups and their founders, firms and emerging clusters within which they are embedded. We analyze these dilemmas over time and offer comparative lessons. This independence has not been free, and the association has gone through a number of institutional dilemmas as a result. The SME Doyukai has somehow managed to remain completely independent from the state, while most other small business associations have not. The most successful example of such efforts is the Association of Small and Medium Size Enterprise Entrepreneurs (SME Doyukai). Central to the struggle has been the challenge of building broad-based coalitions to avoid becoming embedded in these hierarchies while at the same time trying to obtain alternative sources of finance and technological know-how. This article offers a historical narrative of the political struggle by independent-minded entrepreneurs in postwar Japan. Firms unwilling to toe the line have been wholly excluded from access to the benefits reserved for those at the top of the pyramid, where one finds lucrative main bank financing, government support, and copious technological information. The story from the bottom, however, is one of technology expropriation (of patentable technology) and monopsony squeeze (unilateral cost-down demands, for example). The image projected to the outside world has been of cooperative, trust-based relational contracting with big business at the top “taking care” of its suppliers and subsidiaries below. Until now, the story of this power arrangement has been told from the perspective of national bureaucrats and big business executives. Compression asphyxia resulting from the collapse of a human pyramid and the dynamics of its impact force in these circumstances is very rare and is not reported previously to the best of our knowledge.Ĭompression asphyxia Dahihandi festival human pyramid impact force trampling.In Japanese society the pinnacle of economic and political power resides in Tokyo conglomerates and elite ministries: the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and the Ministry of Finance. The victim died from asphyxia due to compression of his chest and abdomen. The victim was unable to remove himself from the situation because his cognitive responses and coordination were impaired due to alcohol intake. There was neither any severe blunt force injury nor any significant pathological natural disease contributing to the cause of death. In present case, the victim was trapped and crushed under the falling persons from a human pyramid formation for a "Dahi Handi" festival. It is usually due to an external force compressing the trunk such as a heavy weight on the chest or abdomen and is associated with internal injuries. In compression asphyxia, respiration is stopped by external forces on the body.
