Description

This volume is a comprehensive view of strategic management in Japan. The book begins with a general view of Japanese management style, and considers how this style affects strategic management. Specifically, the Japanese approach to research and development is considered. Another important aspect is the discussion of how the Japanese bring subsidiary companies in other countries into their strategic plans, asking the question to what extent can Japanese management style be effective outside of Japan. The aim of the Best of Long Range Planning series is to bring together the best articles on a particular topic published in the journal, so that readers wishing to study a specific aspect of planning can find an authoritative and comprehensive view of the subject conveniently published in one volume. This is a unique collection of articles from planners in some of Japan's major corporations.
