{"product_id":"production-organizations-in-japanese-economic-development-paperback-softback","title":"Production Organizations in Japanese Economic Development - Paperback \/ softback","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this important new book, the authors explore how production was organized in the context of the economic development of modern Japan. Production organizations are taken to mean the long-term relationships which economic agents create for production, based on employment contracts or long-term transactions. This includes hierarchical organizations such as factories and corporations, but also flexible arangements such as subcontracting. Modern Japanese economic development is characterized by the co-evolution of these two types of production organizations, while American economic development in the modern period is characterized by the development of a mass production system based on large hierarchical organizations. The question is raised as to why and how a certain type of organization proliferated in a certain industry in a certain period, and what the role of that organization was in coordinating production and giving incentives to the economic agents involved. The result is a comparative institutional analysis of the organizational foundations of Japanese economic development in the modern period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44574608490734,"sku":"9780415748582","price":84.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415748582.jpg?v=1704385697","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/production-organizations-in-japanese-economic-development-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
