21st Century Management

About this book

"This book describes Asian, common-sense, transportable, 'open' management styles. It examines, among other subjects, the 'Great Harmony', 'bottom-up' Management, 'decision thinking', 'networking', 'hell schools', 'ethical humanism' and 'utilitarianistic familism'." "In the light of the successes of Japanese 'transplant' factories in America and Europe, this concise work is intended for western businessmen who feel there is a need to introduce 'revitalised' management methods into their firms. It quotes examples, views and experiences. It highlights pitfalls and axioms." "This book, which will also be useful for Americans, Europeans and Australians working across cultural boundaries with their East-Asian business associates, predicts the arrival of an international, employee-oriented, management style, a combination of West and East."--Jacket.
