Book Details

Japanese Management in the Low Growth Era (1st Edition) by Daniel Dirks, Jean-François Huchet, and Thierry Ribault provides a rigorous and insightful examination of how Japanese firms and management systems have adapted to prolonged economic stagnation and structural change. Drawing on detailed case studies and interdisciplinary analysis, the authors explore the transformation of corporate governance, labor relations, innovation strategies, and organizational practices in Japan’s post–high growth period.

The book challenges conventional assumptions about the decline of the Japanese model, revealing instead a complex process of resilience, adjustment, and selective reform. By situating Japanese management within global competitive pressures and domestic institutional constraints, this volume offers valuable perspectives on productivity, employment stability, and long-term corporate strategy.

Highly recommended for scholars, MBA students, business leaders, and policymakers, this eBook is an essential resource for understanding management innovation and economic adaptation in mature industrial economies.
