Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Much of the literature on the legendary success of the Japanese corporation has rested on the premise that the Japanese possess certain cultural traits, not easily transferable to the West, that provide them with inherent advantages in executing corporate strategy (see, for example, William Ouchi's Theory Z ). Abegglen and Stalk, however, maintain that the successful strategies of the best Japanese kaisha (corporations) are more imitable than not. They discuss such learnable, competitive fundamentals as debt financing, high retained earnings, a short-run concern for building market share, and a partnership with labor. While the preoccupation with the Japanese managerial style can become tiresome, Kaisha offers a different interpretation and is recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A better book than most,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kaisha Japanese Corp (Paperback)
I've been in Japan for 4 years watching and studying Japanese management. Although you may find more famous books on the topic, this book is which I like. Had read it earlier, I would have saved much time I spent in Japanese libraries. I'd give it 5 stars if had included more detailed explainations on the Japanese culture and history. Worth time to read.
5.0 out of 5 stars
