Summary/Abstract: Abstract: On the 4th of February every year I add a new study to the managerial theory and practice. This year it is the turn of Japanese management,insufficiently treated in the international comparative management studies. I have written this book for those interested in the Japanese economic and managerial phenomenon and mentality. Through it, I try to generalize the manner of thinking and experience of the Japanese managers of some very successful companies. I present their life philosophy that, applied to management, led them to special performances even at times of depression. I am bringing to the foreground the origins of the group action mentality that underlies the efficient Japanese management conducted with skill and heart and by taking into account the interests of the beneficiary public and of the companyemployees. I have dealt with the Japanese managers who act in the business world while permanently relying on “social harmony” and the law of universal love and while still being concerned with those who work and with whom they make honest and fair business.
