Abstract: On the basis of the data collected from responses to our questionnaire sent to 1,000 firms each in Japan and the United States, as well as an intensive comparative analysis of a few representative firms, our study has examined (1) general characteristics of strategy and organization for environmental adaptation of firms in the two countries; (2) causal factors that gave rise to them; (3) their strengths and weaknesses; and (4) the impact of the differences in strategy and organization on management performance. This final chapter summarizes the principal analytical findings and explores their theoretical and practical implications.
