Abstract
One of the major reasons the Japanese have been so successful in business is their ability to take a concept or idea from another culture and improve on it in a uniquely Japanese fashion. The management development programmes at the Japan‐American Institute of Management Science (JAIMS) reflect this. A pragmatic approach is adopted with a strong emphasis on computer applications, business simulations, experiential learning and on‐the‐job training. Business simulation is used as a tool to integrate two training programmes, the American Management Programme (AMP) and the Japanese Management Programme (JMP). The simulation demonstrates cultural differences, provides a basis for computer applications, allows participants to interact in an international environment and to deal with real‐world business situations and problems in that environment.
