Abstract: Abstract It is a misconception in the West that, in all sectors of her economy, Japan is not just efficient, but superlatively and consistently so. Her huge trade surpluses in the mid-1980s pay tribute to her excellence in manufacturing and selling, but the success of the majority may conceal the failure of many.
