| Summary |
An era of economic globalization and inward investment has seen much interest in Japanese labour management techniques. The first English edition of this 1964 classic Japanese economics text corrects the misunderstandings which often prevail in this debate by providing the necessary historical context from the Meiji restoration to the second world war. Professor Hazama uses historical, sociological and economic approaches to debunk the myth that Japanese-style management is inherited from the feudal past, and shows the impact of businesses imported from the west after reunification in 1867-68 and how these were amalgamated with a range of Japanese traditions |
