While Japan’s export-oriented economy has been advancing with astounding speed, significant differences remain between the management philosophy and techniques used within Japanese companies and those used in the West. These include the significant differences in the use of capital budgeting techniques, economic and political assessment of projects, decision-making styles, and techniques of corporate governance. As one of very few casebooks written in English on Japanese corporations, this volume offers valuable insights into Japan’s unique business culture and is essential reading for both executives and students. The companies studied in this volume include: Tokyo Disneyland DisneySea Park Daiwa Bank Fuji Television Network Inc. Livedoor Co. Nippon Broadcasting System Inc. Nireco Corporation Ina Food Industry OSG Corporation Bank of Japan
