Japan's System: The Case of the Automobile Industry

Koichi Shimokawa

Japanese Economy, 1985, vol. 13, issue 4, 3-31

Abstract: The presence of the keiretsu or business system is frequently cited in explaining the high efficiency and environmental adaptability of Japanese firms. It is sometimes regarded as an extension of the so-called collectivistic management or as an organization, standing between firms and markets, that cleverly manipulates the organizational principle and the market principle.
