ひとづくりは、よりよいものづくりをし続け、イノベーションに向けた終わりのない挑戦を保証する.
This word appears to have been coined to compare/contrast with ものづくり, but what does it mean here?
Does it mean "services" or "developing the worker"? Is there a cookie cutter English word to fit this?
This should be an easy question for a Japanese MBA.
Thanks,
