Abstract: Abstract The Japanese meaning of change management is Henkou Kanri (変更管理) and can be translated from Japanese to mean “change, modification or alteration” in English. In the 1980s and 1990s, Japanese management principles were successfully implemented into enterprises around the globe. Japanese enterprises like Toyota, Sony or Panasonic had productivity and efficiency advantages against Western-style managed companies by more than 40–60%. The Japanese-style system predominant in the 1980s and 1990s has not been discussed in such an overwhelming and positive context as Japanese companies have been suffering from slumping revenues due to the prolonged economic depression. It is widely known that Japanese companies, on the contrary, are being asked to learn the management systems of newly industrialized Asian countries, including China and India (Sato & Parry, 2013).
