Hybrid Factory - The Japanese Production System in the United States

Zusatztext This study is a useful corrective to assumptions that technology transfer is straightforward or even necessary in its entirety. Klappentext As Japanese automotive and electronics firms have expanded their operations into the United States more attention has been focused on Japanese management and manufacturing. In Hybrid Factory a team of Japanese and American scholars explores the potential for the effective transfer of Japanese management and production systems that have been credited with giving Japanese firms their competitive superiority to a much different national culture. The book looks in particular at which management factors! that provide strength to Japanese production systems! can survive the transfer to the United States or whether the radically different social and cultural environment makes such a transfer impossible. Zusammenfassung This book describes in detail the potential for effective international transfer of the Japanese management and production systems. It is the result of a ten-year research project by a joint US/Japanese study team.
