Sommario/riassunto

This book extends the understanding of the constellations of logics in Japanese management practices in Asia and the West. By adopting comparative ethnographic case studies, it explores cultural meanings of 'family', corporation, market and religion logics in each subsidiary's site: Thailand, Taiwan, Belgium and the US. Researchers, academics and practitioners in the fields of global management and international business management would find this text particularly insightful.
