Abstract

In Chapter 5, I theorized and tested the associations between management practices and manufacturing performance on the basis of evidence from Japanese manufacturers. However, I did not consider the impact of different national environments on such associations because I focused only on their Japan-based plants. Considering such a limitation, and to advance my prior work, I began the research discussed in this chapter. Here, I explore the impact of national characteristics on management practices using evidence from not only Japan- but also China-based manufacturers. These China-based manufacturing companies were affiliated with Japanese companies, and thus, my work also provides readers with a glimpse of Japanese companies’ overseas workplaces that are in transition.
