Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This book examines how Japanese industry has adapted and revitalized itself during and after the long post-Bubble recession of 1991-94.

Through their combination of economic overviews, industry studies and workplace observations, the authors provide a depth of information both on the competitive challenges and employee conditions of Japanese companies. The current performance of Japanese industry is compared with the revived American dynamism, ending up in a critical question: What is the future for European industry ?

Bibliography: p. 205-213. - Includes index.
