Scandals and failures in some of the best known international
Japanese-owned companies have shown that there is sometimes a
considerable difference between the public and internal narratives
of Japanese firms. This book explores the extent to which Japanese
firms' public claims reflect wider reality. Exploring how and why
corporate narrative-management is 'accepted' or 'rejected' by
external and internal audiences in Japan, the book clarifies what
narrative-management means for Japanese organizations. It argues
that the role of narrative-management has become much more
prevalent in Japan in recent years, but that it does not serve
quite the same role as it does in the Western environments where
the theory and practice first emerged. The author presents
interview-based case studies within four very different large
Japanese organisations, all of which have deployed and loudly
announced new restructuring plans based largely on Western models
of corporate 'best practice'. The book aims to describe and account
for these Japanese corporate narratives, and asks what they are,
why they are deployed and who believes in them. As the first
narrative-related work in the Japanese context, this volume
provides an insight into the development of Japanese
narrative-management. It will appeal to students and scholars of
Japanese Business, International Business and Organizational
Studies.
