All of the strategies described are part of The Meiji Restoration, or Japan's Industrial revolution.
The regained Imperial authority in 1868 needed to come along with changes that could make Japan a more sovereign country and it was crucial at the time for Japan to be industrialized, not only to fill in the gap between the western technology and Japan's but to acquire battle power to conquer new territories.
That was made through various strategies, that would empower the people and the country, as well.
First, making a public school system allowed the education to reach the young population without restrictions, as a trained technological workforce would be needed for the developing industrialization.
The government, through the adaptation of the industrialized technics of the western for the financial and natural resources of Japan, created consumer industries as state companies, and with the state-based mining of its natural resources, Japan was able to develop it's own technology and boost the production of the goods they already exported, such as the silk, for example. Along with producing more, the Japanese could modernize it's transportation, improving the roads, implementing railways and developing ships. As some of the state companies were sold to big business conglomerates, there were the need for the development of new business strategies, that were imported by staff sent to other nations to study the industrial advancements.
These strategies proved to be effective, so by the end of the Meiji era in 1912, the country was highly industrialized and had conquered many territories such as Korea, Manchuria, Taiwan and parts of Chinese territory.
