Modern Japanese Organization and Decision-Making
A set of scholarly papers of unusually high quality, this collection contains penetrating analyses of the bargaining and power-trading process at every level of Japanese society. Some old clichés are demolished (the "weakness" of the Japanese leader, the unconcern for profit of Japanese business); others are explored in precise detail-"groupism" and elitism.
