 Based on the authors' extensive research of the use of information technology (IT) by Japanese companies, this study features original case studies that demonstrate how the Japanese view, apply and implement IT. The text explores what points can be learned from the Japanese experience. At a time when Western and Japanese companies are beginning to fight major strategic battles in Europe, the authors describe ways in which Western companies can exploit weaknesses in Japanese IT strategy. Conversely, they suggest how Japanese companies can sharpen their own practices.
