Japan productivity program, Seisansei : an evaluation of the participant training program in Japan, 1956-1962

The major purpose of this global effort was to obtain an overview of how the participant training program was progressing to ascertain ways in which future training might be effective at the country, AID/W, and training institution levels. The study involved oral interviews in 1961 with 605 returned participants in the Japanese Productivity Study Team, a random sample from 2555 returnees. This was a highly successful program geared specificially to sending short-term productivity teams of 8-12 peoples to the U.S. for specialized training. The report has no generally applicable recommendations. (Participant training abstract)
