Abstract

Discusses aspects of the Japanese economic miracle, where industry and business are seen as superior in quality. Argues, briefly, that Westerners fail to understand Japanese business behaviour because they do not realize that the Japanese are not constrained by Western concepts, but are bound by a different culture. Argues for an intelligent recognition of the economic war between Japanese and Western companies – and a change of tactics from the Westerners.
