Customer Reviews

As good a primer as you'll find on Japanese business.

This book describes both the historical and present incarnations of the Keiretsu, and offers clear explanations as to their influence on the way Japan, Inc. works. What distinguishes this book, however, are brutally candid insider portraits about life within the manufacturing heirarchies of Japan, Inc. The result is a comprehensive picture of Japan's business climate, presented as vividly as anything you will find on the subject
