The Human Element Fails

Jon Woronoff

Chapter 8 in The Japanese Economic Crisis, 1996, pp 149-167 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract As everybody knows, much of Japan’s economic success can be traced to the human element. Its people were hardworking and sacrificed for the good of the country. They were disciplined and put their personal needs and interests second. They showed exceptional loyalty to the company even at cost to their own personal or family life. All these characteristics, which were very real, contributed mightily to the economy’s rise.
