After sweeping all before it in the 1980s, 'Japanese management'
ran into trouble in the 1990s, especially in the high-tech
industries, prompting many to declare it had outlived its
usefulness. From the late 1990s leading companies embarked on
wide-ranging reforms designed to restore their entrepreneurial
vigour. For some, this spelled the end of Japanese management; for
others, little had changed. From the perspective of the community
firm, Inagami and Whittaker examine changes to employment
practices, corporate governance and management priorities, in this
2005 book, drawing on a rich combination of survey data and an
in-depth study of Hitachi, Japan's leading general electric company
and enterprise group. They find change and continuity, the
emergence of a 'reformed model', but not the demise of the
community firm. The model addresses both economic vitality and
social fairness, within limits. This book offers unique insights
into changes in Japanese management, corporations and society.
