      Important Note About This Ebook

      This is a summary and not a critique or a review of the book. It does not offer judgment or opinion on the content of the book. This summary may not be organized chapter-wise but is an overview of the main ideas, viewpoints and arguments from the book as a whole. This means that the organization of this summary is not a representation of the book.

      1. A Blueprint For The 1980s

      As individuals, Japanese often lack dominant personalities but they usually establish a very strong identity as part of a group - whether that be a family, a corporation or a nation. While most Western corporations are simply organizations seeking profits, Japanese corporations tend to become communities serving their employees.

      Professor Raymond Vernon of Harvard University put forward the product cycle model which states a corporation goes through periods of new product integration, rapid growth, maturity and decline. Multinationalization is aimed at maintaining an advantageous share of the market. When a company launches a unique product and enjoys a competitive edge over its competitors, it initially exports finished products and will eventually expand on the strength of cheaper capital to other countries.

The current plight of the Western automobile manufacturers is not the result of the poor quality of labor but the failure of management to institute long-range strategies or to modernize
