In this important new book, the authors explore how production was
organized in the context of the economic development of modern
Japan. Production organizations are taken to mean the long-term
relationships which economic agents create for production, based on
employment contracts or long-term transactions. This includes
hierarchical organizations such as factories and corporations, but
also flexible arangements such as subcontracting. Modern Japanese
economic development is characterized by the co-evolution of these
two types of production organizations, while American economic
development in the modern period is characterized by the
development of a mass production system based on large hierarchical
organizations. The question is raised as to why and how a certain
type of organization proliferated in a certain industry in a
certain period, and what the role of that organization was in
coordinating production and giving incentives to the economic
agents involved. The result is a comparative institutional analysis
of the organizational foundations of Japanese economic development
in the modern period.
