The research behind this book began in the early 1990s, at a time when Japan's economic success was overwhelmingly credited to the Japanese government and its unique management policies. Porter and his colleagues started by asking a crucial but previously overlooked question: If Japanese government policies and practices accounted for the nation's extraordinary competitiveness, then why wasn't Japan competitive in many of the industries where those policies had been prominently implemented? The authors and a team of colleagues surveyed a vast array of Japanese industries. This surprising book is the result of their work. The continuing influence of Japanese government and management strategies worldwide makes \u003ci\u003eCan Japan Compete?\u003c\/i\u003e a must read for anyone competing in the global economy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/26\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780465059898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.66h x 6.32w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2001 pg. 1839\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Michael Porter, Mick Takeuchi, Sakakibara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637510271132,"sku":"9780465059898","price":28.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b5d1f450-c3bc-4e4e-957c-93e3120eb4ba.jpg?v=1603844958","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/can-japan-compete-9780465059898","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
