From the Paper:

"The Japanese employment system has been described by some as the result of cultural norms encouraging high commitment, reciprocity, and conformity, but Andrew Gordon takes the opposing view that these practices are actually an economic response. He traces this system back to its roots in pre-war Japan, showing how the system developed from a different system in the era of World War I and the 1920s into something closer to the current system because of the interplay of economic forces.

The Japanese system offers many observable Japanese managerial practices which can be reduced to three underlying factors:
1) a long-run planning horizon;
2) a commitment to lifetime employment; and
3) a sense of collective responsibility."
