Chapter 4 in Market Entry in Japan, 2008, pp 37-73 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract For 20 now, Japanese production management has been the subject of lively interest and debate in the West. Particularly the 1980s and the early 1990s saw a real boom in the publication of scientific writings and works of popular science which tried to get to discover the secret of Japanese success. One of the best-known papers is the study carried out by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers Womack, Jones and Ross in 1990, which intrigued whole legions of production scientists, management researchers and industry practitioners and had a key impact on subsequent research and on theWestern view of Japanese production management and also on the self-image of Japanese production management itself.
