The Japanese management model - from ningen soncho to jiyu to jiko sekinin

Article Abstract:

The Japanese management model, which was responsible for the extraordinary transformation of the nation's economy, was characterized by an ideology of communitarianism rather than individualism found in the US. Through an intense export drive and development of heavy and chemical businesses, the nation was able to catch up and surpass the economic performance of developed nations such as the US. The model is continually evolving as factors such as information technology, globalization, and individualization come into play as the twenty-first century nears.
