The Japanese Enterprise System by Wmark Fruin

This volume merges four streams of inquiry and interpretation in a study of the evolution and emergence of Japan's leading industrial firms during the twentieth century. First, it is a historical study of how the industrial institutions of modern Japan appeared and matured. Second, it is an organization study of the basic forms of social and economic interaction in Japan. Third, it is a development study of how circumstances of rapid technical and economic change have shaped the Japanese business system. It is also a strategy study of how Japanese managers have responded to and shaped these circumstances.
will set the stage for the discussion of the Japanese business system and of the structures and strategies of its enterprises for many years to come Alfred Chandler, Straus Professor of Business History, Emeritus, Harvard Business School This is the best book on Japanese industrial structure in any languageChalmers Johnson a landmark of scholarship Times Higher Education Supplement
