Porter, Michael E: Takeuchi, Hirotaka: Sakakibara, Mariko : Can Japan Compete?

London: MacMillan Press Ltd, 2000: ISBN:0333786580

First edition, first printing, fine condition, in a near fine dust jacket, original black clothboards with gilt blocking to spine, 208 pages including index, b/w figures and tables, ------------------"This new book will change the way we understand Japan's economic performance and the way we think about competitiveness in the modern global economy. The result of a major piece of academic research, it reveals that there have long been two Japans, the familiar one that was highly competitive, and another, almost invisible, that was highly uncompetitive. Book offers a theory that can explain and interpret Japan's post-war economic trajectory, important not only for Japan but because of the influence of the Japanese case on economic thinking worldwide. The authors also outline the steps that will be necessary in order to restore Japan's economic vitality. It is a must for serious scholars of economics and Japanese business.
