Abstract:

Accelerating competitive pressures are placing increasing burdens upon business management, particularly in manufacturing enterprises. The typical Western response has been to develop some major new product or process technology. The Japanese responded to the same situation by focusing on organizational structure and processes. While both approaches have merit, the organization resulting from the Japanese approach appears better able to cope with today’s environmental dynamics.
