To Search for a integrated Asian Management System

本研究的目的是通过对日本子公司和亚洲地区本土公司企业文化的比较分析，寻求一个完整的亚洲管理体系。日本侨民和当地员工对日本管理制度或日本思维方式的可转移性持反对意见。当地员工普遍倾向于将日本制度视为一种特殊的制度，因此它对外国的可转移性很低。然而，日本人认为这是一种观点。他们表示，亚洲子公司的良好表现表明了日本制度的可转移性。哪一种观点更有道理？在我看来，这两种相互矛盾的意见可以分为两个不同的层面，即原则层面和制度层面。虽然日本的管理制度，如生产控制方法、工资晋升制度，可以完全适用于亚洲人的土地，但日本人的思维方式或与人交往不受亚洲人欢迎。第一个问题是，在国际化进程的众多模式中，全资子公司表现出比合资企业更高的日本管理制度可转移性，当地劳动力的工作满意度也很高。第二个问题是，日本侨民与当地员工之间的认知差距主要出现在决策过程和劳动关系领域。第三个问题是QCC的实施程度或建议制度，这些都是日本本土的思想管理方法，无疑是低的，但这种现象并不是由文化差异造成的，而是商业历史较短造成的。

The aim of this research is to search for a integrated Asian Management System through the comparative analysis of corporate culture between Japanese subsidiaries and local companies in Asian region. Opposing opinions among Japanese expatriates and local staffs are observed about the transferability of the Japanese management system or Japanese way of thinking.Local staffs generally have the inclination to think the Japanese system as a special one, hence it's transferability to foreign countries is very low. However, Japanese argue this opinion. They say that good performance of the Asian subsidiaries is indicative of the transferability of Japanese system. Which opinion is more plausible?. In my opinion, these two conflicting opinions can be classified two different levels, that is to say, principle level and institutional level. Although Japanese management system, such as production control method, wage-promotion system can be fully applicable to an Asian soil, Japanese way of thinking or keeping company are not welcomed to an Asian peoples.We found three points through the survey. First issue is, among the many patterns of the internationalization process, fully-owned subsidaries showed higher transferability of Japanese management system than joint ventures, and job satisfactionof local labors is also high. Second issues is that peceptional gap between Japanese expatriates and local staffs occurred mainly in the field of decision making process and labor relationship. Third issue is the extent of implementation of QCC asctivities or suggestion system, which are thought management method indigenous Japan, is undoubtedly is low, but this phenomenon is caused not by cultural difference but the short business history.
