Japan Inc.: Lessons for North America?
- 1981 ----- color ----- 28 min ----- 16mm
- In Japan, a country of population pressure and land scarcity, survival has historically meant doing things together. Shows the contemporary application of this collective approach to business and industry. Presents some dominant features of the Japanese business world: the small working group approach and the consensus method of decision-making. Rituals are also integral part of daily working life: people exercising in groups, welders stopping to pay homage to the god of fire, huge crowds of young men being ceremonially inducted into the work force each April 1. For the Japanese a job is a lifetime commitment.
- Topics: (Economics, Japan, Management)
