Abstract

Although many Japanese companies do actually make long-term strategic plans, it is clear that there are several aspects of short-termism in the manner in which Japanese companies carry on their business in Britain. In the UK context, the long-term view as laid down by Head Office in Tokyo is not necessarily always workable, and has given rise to a number of problems. In many cases, an overall long-term plan exists, but is subject to constant modification. Also, it should be emphasised that there is much more to understanding the outlook and approach of a Japanese company than this bland phrase “the Japanese always plan for the long term” would suggest.
