The Japanese Administrative System

The Japanese administrative system is characterised by a number of administrative qualities and elements that make it distinct from other administrative systems, and despite differing viewpoints regarding the similarity or dissimilarity of these characteristics with their counterparts in the United States of America and Western European countries, what cannot be disputed is that the way Japanese systems and policies are applied and operated, under the organisational framework, climate, and Japanese cultural values, differs from what is applied in American management.

Japanese Management and its Elements

• Japanese management is one of the modern management theories that achieved remarkable success, devised by the Japanese scientist William Ouchi, presented in the book "Theory Z", and as a result Japanese companies achieved greater productivity than American companies.

• Japanese management is the ways of thinking and the administrative systems formed based on the concepts and features of Japanese culture.

• Japanese management is one of the factors of success and development in Japan, and it is distinguished by its pioneering experience, not only at the local and regional level, but at the global level as well.

• This administrative distinction comes with its various formative, intellectual, and applied elements, as Japan's administrative behaviour has become a source of inspiration for many distinguished companies around the world.
