- Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2009This 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
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.
