Abstract: The ever more conspicuous success of Japanese business has put Japanese-style management into the limelight. Outside observers searching for the secret of Japan's high productivity growth and product quality have quite naturally turned their attention to the country's distinctive management system. Undoubtedly this interest is fueled by a hope that Japanese management techniques can be emulated by foreign businesses and help them to improve their own sagging performance. This is quite a big change from the time when Japanese practices were invariably presumed to be inferior to the way things are done in the West.
