    The Book
    Japan has survived a major recession and Japanese companies have
    employed numerous new management strategies to deal with the new
    challenges. These strategies may also be of interest to Western and non-
    Western companies alike. This book outlines the particulars of Japanese
    management and how modern Japanese management employs many practices
    which are very successful and worth adopting. The main objective of this
    book is to illustrate the many teachings that Japanese management
    practice can offer the rest of the world. The book thus targets managers
    who deal with Japanese business partners, or work in Japan, and also
    students of Japanese Studies, Asian Studies or International Business.
