Abstract
A comparison of the performance of workers at Western Electric in the United States with that of employees at five of the largest Japanese electronics manufacturers, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Hitachi, Fujitsu, Nippon Electric Co., and Mitsubishi Electric, shows that cultural differences do not explain the superior productivity of Japanese workers. Rather, superior productivity in Japan depends on management practices and investment patterns.
