Not long ago, American manufacturing was in sharp decline. The Big
Three carmakers closed dozens of plants, mostly in Michigan and
other surrounding states, eliminating more than 250,000 jobs.
Another quarter of a million workers lost their jobs in related
industries. Now United States manufacturing is making a
comeback--thanks, in part, to the transplanting of Japanese
corporations of over 25 billion dollars worth of heavy industry and
100,000 jobs. The Japanese companies are making long-term
commitments where United States business leaders had seemed to give
up hope. The success of these ventures is the result of the
sweeping revolution in the organization of technology, work, and
production that lies at the heart of the Japanese model of
production. This book explores the rise of this Japanese model and
provides a detailed examination of the processes which have brought
about its transfer to the United States. It presents new and
original data on the extent of Japanese investment in both United
States heavy industry and high technology and provides an
empirically-grounded discussion of the reasons why this has
occurred. The authors focus on the transfer of basic elements of
Japanese production organization and develop a broad conceptual
theme contrasting the Japanese model of production organization
with that of United States Fordism. With a wealth of illustrations
and straightforward examples, this work will appeal to those
interested in urban and regional economics, industrial
organization, labor relations, and economic geography.
