*Summary:*
This book provides a new understanding of the constellations of logics in
Japanese management practices in Asia and the West. Through comparative
ethnographic case studies in a Japanese multinational corporation (MNC),
the book explores cultural meanings of ‘family’, corporation, market and
religion logics in each subsidiary’s site: Thailand, Taiwan, Belgium and
the US. In doing so, the book defines ‘cultural space’ through
institutional logic approach. It argues that logics are culturally
interpreted and this may impose a serious limitation on the institutional
logic approach based on the analysis of Western society. It reveals that
Japanese ‘family’ logics and Theravada Buddhism in Asia are strengthening
each other and this directly supports the presupposition of amplification.
It further elaborates on the ongoing constellations of logics which are
continuously formed in relation to geographical contexts. The book also
explains that boundaries of the organisational communities are not
‘segmented’ to Japanese expatriates but constructed through actors’
profiles and this in turn, raises the importance of actors’ profiles. This
book is therefore, a must-read for researchers, managers and anyone
interested in Japanese MNCs.
