This includes hierarchical organizations such as factories and corporations, but also flexible arangements such as subcontracting. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eModern Japanese economic development is characterized by the co-evolution of these two types of production organizations, while American economic development in the modern period is characterized by the development of a mass production system based on large hierarchical organizations. The question is raised as to why and how a certain type of organization proliferated in a certain industry in a certain period, and what the role of that organization was in coordinating production and giving incentives to the economic agents involved. The result is a comparative institutional analysis of the organizational foundations of Japanese economic development in the modern period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54233520800088,"sku":"9780415391801","price":198.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415391801.jpg?v=1769240736","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/production-organizations-in-japanese-economic-development","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
