A Lesson for American Managers: Learning from Japanese Experiences in the U.S.

Nosow, Sigmund

National Productivity Review, v3 n4 p407-16 Aut 1984

Research finds that, in Japanese-owned plants in America, efforts are made to bring the system around slowly to a Japanese management style through acculturation, communication, and training. Problems engendered by these efforts emerge particularly at the middle management levels. Barriers to corporate unity are far fewer at the plant level. (CT)
