At the same time, globalization and heightened competition have accelerated the casualization of work in Japan. The furiitaa, young people who are free-lance, long-term 'casuals,' are le...

A wonderful tight clean copy, protected in a new brodart wrapper, no inscri ptions, unclipped dustjacket, this is not an Ex-Lib or a BCE/BOMC edition. This is an analysis of the causes of Japan's post-war industrial supremacy. It examines the West's reluctance to acknowledge this and claims that underhand practices and cultural differences are attributed to Japan's success. Because of this, the West does not see Japan as a model to studied or emulated and thus misses out on the opportunity to learn from Japan's success. The author puts forward the view that by discarding prejudices, the West w... View more info

This guide also serves as a general introduction to Japanese culture, expla ining in part what has made that nation a successful competitor of the Unit ed States and why Americans have trouble selling products and services ther e.

Nonverbal communica tion is important in Japanese society, the author notes, and Westerners' di scomfort and need to fill silence with conversation often works agai... View more info

For more than a decade, Japan's dismal economy -- which has bounced from de flationary collapse to fitful recovery and back to collapse -- has been the biggest obstacle to economic growth. Why has the world's second largest ec onomy been unable to save itself? Why has a country, whose financial might in the 1980s was the most feared force on the globe, become the sick man of the world economy? Why has the industrial transformation once called the J ap...

Economic crisis tends to spur change in the 'rules of the game' - the 'institutions' - that govern the economic activity of firms and employees. But after more than a decade of economic pain following the burst of the Japanese Bubble Economy of the 1980s, the core institutions of Japanese capitalism have changed remarkably little. In this systematic and holistic assessment of continuity and change in the central components of Japanese capitalism, Mich... View more info
