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.
