Japanese industry is the envy of the world for its efficient and humane management practices. Yet, as William Tsutsui argues, the origins and implications of 'Japanesestyle management' are poorly understood. Contrary to widespread belief, Japan's acclaimed strategies are not particularly novel or even especially Japanese.Tsutsui traces the roots of these practices to Scientific Management, or Taylorism, an American concept that arrived in Japan at the turn of the century. During subsequent decades, this imported model was embracedand ultimately transformedin Japan's industrial workshops. Imitation gave rise to innovation as Japanese managers sought a 'revised' Taylorism that combined mechanistic efficiency with respect for the humanity of labor.Tsutsui's groundbreaking study charts Taylorism's Japanese incarnation, from the 'efficiency movement' of the 1920s, through Depressionera 'rationalization' and wartime mobilization, up to postwar 'productivity' drives and qualitycontrol campaigns. Taylorism became more than a management tool; its spread beyond the factory was a potent intellectual template in debates over economic growth, social policy, and political authority in modern Japan.Tsutsui's historical and comparative perspectives reveal the centrality of Japanese Taylorism to ongoing discussions of Japan's governmentindustry relations and the evolution of Fordist mass production. He compels us to rethink what implications Japanesestyle management has for Western industries, as well as the future of Japan itself.
