Following the economic crisis, Japan is on its way to regaining its position as an economic powerhouse. The bubble burst in the 1990s, and a decade of recession led to numerous changes in Japanese society and management. J-Management: Fresh Perspectives on the Japanese Firm in the 21st Century presents a comprehensive overview of the reforms and changes in the Japanese economy and their impact on management processes.

J-Management gives insights into the current situation of Japanese firms, explains Japanese views on current developments, and answers questions about contemporary Japanese firms, such as

● How have Japanese firms handled the recession, and how have they reinvented themselves after it?

● Is lifetime employment still relevant in today's Japanese society?

● Does the seniority system still apply?

● How has globalization impacted today's Japanese corporations?

● How advanced is gender equality in the J-firm?

● What challenges do foreign workers face in the J-company?

Written by students at Sophia University in Tokyo, J-Management not only contains an overview of relevant sources on the topics, but also includes the personal experiences and opinions of these young, international writers who provide comprehensive, fresh, and insightful commentary from the Japanese perspective.

  • Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2009
    This was an excellent book for anyone desiring knowledge on Japanese management. I purchased it because I am working on my PhD concentrating on Japan and found numerous useful references. I highly recommend the book. The only downside, which was insignificant, was that some of the chapters dragged after the point was made and some chapters repeated information from other chapters. However, this was understandable since each chapter was written by different people and thus, sometimes drew upon the same references. English was good with only minor, unimportant, discrepancies. The book is good for anyone doing research on Japanese management and business.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A light read for learning about Japanese Management
    Reviewed in Canada on February 5, 2013
    I bought this text as a required reading for a course. The reading is light and is nicely organized. If you are looking for a more academic read, you may want to keep looking.
