Japan's top management from the inside

The book presents a fundamental challenge to commonly held superficial and mistaken assumptions about Japanese top management. Hard facts to destroy these myths are provided, based on interviews with 100 presidents and chairmen in top Japanese firms.

Current Japanese management practice is placed in the context of the business relations developed to rebuild the shattered economy after the Second World War, and the monumental changes which took place after the crash of the bubble economy in 1992. New scenarios for Japan's future are discussed and examined.
