The Japanese Phenomenon Without Stereotypes, and What We Can Learn from It (Part I)

Abstract

Most of the efforts to analyze the Japanese phenomenon have been in one way or another superficial or misguided. Moreover, there have been so many of them that most of us are simply tired of reading about Japan. This is unfortunate, because an honest look at the Japanese phenomenon can be very instructive. Many of the superficial analyses have focused on only one or two elements in Japan’s very complex socio‐industrial‐political system. These misguided analyses base their conclusions on something other than hard facts.
