Abstract: Abstract In the post-Second World War era from around the 1950s to the 1970s, Japan was driven by two main goals — that of improving its economy, and striving towards efficiency. Such a focus enabled Japan not only to merely recover its economy, but also to become an economic giant by the 1980s. In fact, Japan was able to accomplish an economic miracle by establishing the so-called Japanese-style management system according to its principles of lifelong employment and seniority system. Thanks also to this system, Japanese multinationals did not have to invest in executive education in contrast to Western multinationals that had to concentrate much of their spending in that area.
