Non-western work organization

In Chapter I, the Japanese setting is described: industrial society and industrial employment. Chapter II presents the Japanese work organization as organic with the appropriate value system and practices. Chapter III is about the man-machine relationships: operator and equipment, production system, and quality control. In Chapter IV, the man-man relationship is considered under two aspects: personnel management and decision-making. Finally the conclusion stresses once more the originality of Japanese model versus the Western model of work organization.
