Abstract: Abstract This chapter elaborates on the purpose and significance of this book. It first explains the issues discussed in this book by comparing current economic and business conditions between Germany and Japan, which were not only defeated nations during WWII but also major trading countries post war. Next, research topics are identified by examining major issues in postwar German capitalism and business management, the focal topic of this book’s analysis; we do so by focusing on the postwar boom years, in particular through the early 1970s. This book explores the findings of previous research based on related topics and ensuant issues. Furthermore, in addition to clarifying two original key frameworks by the author and their significance, this section explains a “total system of business management” and “re-framing” as the frameworks for a multifactorial analysis of business management. These frameworks underpin this book’s unique explanation of German business management and capitalism.
