SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Collective myopia has been the downfall of Japanese organizations, from the collapse of the financial systems at the turn of the century to the subsequent wrongdoings in Japanese blue-chip companies nearly a decade later. Collective Myopia in Japanese Organizations examines this phenomenon and its role in global business through various case studies of Japanese organizations such as the Tokyo Electric Power Company. Drawing on European philosophies including phenomenology, critical theories, post-structuralism, and postmodernism, this book engages transcultural learning for students and researchers interested in business ethics, corporate crisis management, and white-collar crimes from a global perspective"--Provided by publisher.
