Business in Japan |
Motofusa Murayama |
Body
and mind are inseparable. Likewise, Japanese
business develops within its culture. However
since culture is an intangible resource, it is
difficult to construct theory and then to link
it with the real practice of business and
management. Hence our challenge to explore into
Business in Japan will be directed toward the
interface cultural fusion of practice and theory
in conjunction with business anthropology. Also,
multiple case stories in Japanese corporate
histories and post modern trends in Japanese
business globalization will be introduced for
class discussions. Success and failure in
Japanese businesses from comparative research
perspectives can be related to present issues in
the U.S. economy.
Meets: Wednesdays in Seattle 6:00 – 8:40 pm
