Summary/Abstract: The unusual success of Japan in economic recovery in less than 30 years after World War II together with unexpected achievements of Japanese companies, attracted Western attention and inspired European countries to implement management methods and tools developed in this long isolated country. The consequence of the isolation was development of characteristic national culture, which nowadays affects organizational culture in Japanese companies. The aim of the article is to introduce specificity of Japanese management culture and to present results of scientific research about the use of Japanese management tools in a polish company. The research included three methods: observation, a questionnaire and an interview.
