The Japanese Family: An Institutional Logic for Japanese Corporate Networks and Japanese Management
论证日本家族为日本企业网络和管理实践提供了制度逻辑，并指出历史中企业个体的行动旨在维持社会资本，这解释了家族逻辑的持续存在。
Although the existence of Japanese corporate networks and Japanese management practices has been substantiated in the management literature, explanations for their origins are lacking. The author illustrates that the Japanese family provides an institutional logic for Japanese corporate networks and Japanese management practices. Furthermore, the historical actions of individuals in Japanese corporations are indicative of a strategy to sustain and nurture their social capital—a strategy that might explain the historical persistence of this family logic.
