Japan’s Managerial System : A Study about Value Systems

Abstract

On the surface there is much about the Japanese people that appears similar to Americans. They work hard, they have a capacity to organize, they adapt and invent, they are aggressive, and they push economic expansion. These qualities would seem to make it easy to understand both the people and the rapid industrial development. Yet, as we shall see, the roots of motivation, the ways of organizing, the methods of adapting, and the vary style of competing are sharply different. As a result, where we might expect familiarity and understanding there is often confusion and misunder - standing. It is fascinating to see the Japanese and Americans have arrived at similar economic end points starting from different places and using different methods. Japanese value system and culture are invoked to explain this difference. In this paper presents about Japanese value systems : accept the changes, work hard, responsibility towards the group, seniority, loyalty, group - oriented.
