Japan, now the world's third largest economy after the United States and the People's Republic of China, plays a key role in the Asian and international environment. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is the financial instrument suitable for companies' acquisitions of new products, technology and control in foreign businesses and is encouraged by governments to enhance their economic growth. To best understand all the specifics and characteristics of Japan's economic and industrial dynamism, it is necessary to analyze some fundamental mechanisms that regulate and coordinate the economy and industry such as the productive efficiency of the adopted information systems as well as the ability to manage, at the decentralized level, various local emergencies. Thus, the best performance of the Japanese economy seems to depend on factors such as ethics and the centrality of the small group, the loyalty of employees to the company, and the paternalistic attitude of the company toward workers.
