(2009)2 - 10There is no doubt that every person from all walks of life is indeed using aJapanese product or technology in his daily life, whether it is cars, pens or paper. Indeed,Japan provided the world with many successful global companies and brands such asSony, Fujitsu, HP and Toyota. These global Japanese brands did not only affect Japaneseeconomy, it also affected the world economy and trade. These industrial revolutions putJapan on one of the six big industrial countries alongside the United States, UnitedKingdom, Germany, France and Italy. It is not the manufacturing elements that madeJapan reach that, but there is also a great management system. The success of theirapproaches was not by adopting a fixed accounting system or by Activity-based costingABC, but by using systematic flexible systems (Patel and Russell 1994, pp.64-65).In the last 50 years, Japan brought to the world a successful management style startingwith a government model in the early 1950s, to a corporate model in the 1980s (Porter etal. 2002; Whitehill 1991).

Japan started aphenomenal revolution management system (Porter et al. 2002; Whitehill 1991). Towardsthe 1970s, research showed that the United States and some European countries used asimilar system (Hayashi 2002). In 1980s the time came to challenge just how thesesystems would work out under the Japanese corporate management systems.Professor William Ouchi's book, about the Japanese management system entitled TheoryZ: how American business can meet the Japanese challenge (England 1983; Hayashi2002). The book became a standard management system practice in the United States formore than 20 years. During the last century, there were many theories which appeared onthe table based on Japanese model from theory X to Z. However, the Americancompanies did not found any productivity value on this model system and the theory Zmanagement application became unlikely used among American companies andbusinessmen (England 1983; Whitehill 1991; Jeremiah J, 1992) perhaps because ofdifferences in the environment or the culture. However, the Japanese culture has playedan important role in the Japanese management system. In fact, the Japanese firmmanagement system was based on two functions; columns economy and culture.
