Abstract

The contemporary myth of Japanese management could be traced to the praise of Japanese collectivism by overseas Japanologists’ writings, such as Edwin Reischauer’s The Japanese (1977), Ezra Vogel’s Japan as Number One (1979), and some others in 1970s. At that time, Japan was the second economic power among the global economies. The economic recovery from the ashes of the defeat in World War II (WWII) was remarkable. Japan was the only nation whose nationals consisted of nonwhite people to join Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the club of wealthy advanced countries, in 1964. Then, unfamiliar national characteristics to individualistic “whites” in the advanced economies widely discussed, and collectivism was one of major themes to discuss over Japanese people and Japanese societies.
