THE IRON FIST IN THE VELVET GLOVE: MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATION IN JAPANESE MANUFACTURING TRANSPLANTS IN WALES
评估了日本制造业组织形式能否转移到英国威尔士这一陌生制度环境，描述了已建立的组织形式、日常管理和工作实践，结论是日本模式在威尔士得以重现，且任何调整都未改变其基本特征。
This paper assesses the transferability of a Japanese form of manufacturing organization to an alien institutional environment ‐ the Principality of Wales in the UK. After characterizing what we mean by a ‘Japanese form of manufacturing organization’ and the arrival of Japanese companies in Wales, we describe the forms of organization, day‐to‐day management and working practices which have been established. Our conclusion is that the Japanese form of manufacturing organization has been re‐created on Welsh soil, and that any ‘adaptations’ are not such as to alter the fundamental features of the new organizational form.
