Description

An historical and present day study of top management in Japan, this text explores the qualities that Japanese leaders require in a competitive business environment fraught with ambiguity. Based on research into over 700 top Japanese managers and over 2,500 European managers, the author questions some assumptions about national culture and its influence on top management behaviour.
