“The Japanese Miracle: Lessons and Challenges” Open Lecture
April 5, 2019 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm +04
About the Event:
This presentation is an overview of Japan’s remarkable growth from the ashes of defeat after World War II to the world’s second largest economy in less than a half a century. The lecture will cover the basic principles of “Japanese management,” including labor relations, business groups, and government business relations, as well as how Japanese society and culture have supported economic growth. It will further discuss recent changes and challenges in Japanese business and society, in particular, aging population, status of women, and the difficulty of managing change in Japan’s highly structured and inflexible corporate system.
