Abstract
Recent studies have contained a number of references to the Japanese style of management, showing keen interest in the high development of Japanese economy and technology. Most studies seem to exaggerate the peculiarity of Japanese culture and the harmonious character of intra-company relations. This paper surveys the main works on Japanese management written by Japanese authors during the last thirty years, reflecting upon their methodologies. It shows that the recent discussions have largely neglected the historical and macrostructural viewpoint as well as the critical view of power and authority in industry developed in previous research.
