Reviews
"Understanding Japan is obviously important, and the cultural approach, while not the only one, is essential. In my own experience of briefing American businesspersons assigned to Asia I have found a great deficiency in basic knowledge that a book such as this would go far to correct.
"This is an excellent volume on Japanese business, representing a variety of points of view within the broad context of a cultural approach. There is variety, balance, and enough explanation to guide and motivate the reader. The variety of disciplines presented—anthropology, sociology, management, economics—is also useful. " — Steven I.
