• Resumen

  •  Los autores argumentan que la noción de japonización tiene que ser reconstruida alcanzar la comprensión del complejo proceso que implica su desarrollo, generalización y adaptación de nuevos modelos de organización del trabajo y relaciones laborales. Sugieren, como resultado de la investigación, que las innovaciones japonesas en producción y empleo son, por sí mismas, productos de la evolución y una variedad de interacciones entre modelos dominantes precedentes (especialmente estadounidenses), reuniones institucionales específicas que incorporaron compromisos nacionales de clase y estrategias de industrialización y la los esfuerzos de las empresas japonesas para enfrentar contingencias particulares, sectoriales y temporales. De manera similar, argumentan que la exportación y difusión de las innovaciones japonesas debe analizarse en términos de una interacción entre las estrategias corporativas ampliadas de las transnacionales japonesas, el papel del publicista y los mediadores que manejan el proceso de codificación y la difusión de paquetes especiales de técnicas y , en el último, nacional condiciones distintivas regionales y sectoriales y las relaciones sociales que estructuran la recepción y adaptación de esas técnicas.
