The Japanese Firm: Sources of Competitive Strength

Editat de Masahiko Aoki, Ronald Dore
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 mai 1994
In this book, a team of distinguished scholars seeks to explain and understand aspects of the firm in the Japanese economic system, and to explain the corporate success of Japan. The book is interdisciplinary, uses theoretical and empirical work, and has contributions from the fields of institutional economics, organizational theory, economic history, and sociology. Major themes are the recognition of business practices and the recognition of the diversity of experience within Japan, for example, analysing small or medium-sized firms separately from large companies. Several contributors deal with the transferability or adaptability of the Japanese experience to the Nordic or Anglo-American context. The book is held together by a strong introductory chapter by the editors.Contributors: M. Aoki, R. Dore, R. Freeman, K. Koike, R. Cole, M. Sako, B. Asanuma, D. E. Westney, D. Okimoto, Y. Nishi, D.

Recenzii

An excellent overview of issues including training, quality control, R&D organization, strategic alliances, product development strategies, and corporate governance issues ... This volume is the most comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the Japanese firm and will be very useful in courses on Japan.
An interdisciplinary is convincingly deployed by a number of the authors and this gives the book an overall sense of coherence ... all of the essays are to be higly recommended ... This collection blows away yet more of the fog and some of the myths behind it.
This is an excellent collection of papers for which the authors, the editors and the conference organizers should be congratulated. I found valuable insights in almost every chapter, and the whole was even better than the sum of its parts. One point that was brought out by a number of authors was what the editors referred to in their introduction as `systemic awareness' - that specific attributes of the Japanese firm should not be considered in isolation, as they are all interrelated elements of a broader system. This book brings together many of these elements, and provides the reader with that vital systemic awareness.
Many of the papers reflect the use of the new institutional economies to explain the nature of the Japanese firm and the sources of its competitive strength. They also display a laudable attempt to show the dependency between institutions, something which is important, but difficult, to do ... The papers are not only theoretical and empirical studies of the Japanese case, they also often contain a comparative aspect ... the account of the Japanese firm under the wartime planned economy given by Tetsuji Okazaki is fascinating ... higly informative and expertly combines modern approaches to the theory of the firm with empirical studies of a diverse range. I recommend this volume for those interested in the firm, the Japanese firm, and the skilful application of theories of the firm. The papers will undoubtedly enhance people's knowledge of the Japanese economy, but also stimulate new avenues of enquiry.
This is an excellent collection of papers for which the authors, the editors and the conference organizers should be congratulated. I found valuable insights in almost every chapter, and the whole was even better than the sum of its parts.
