(★)(Este libro es version de bolsillo del ´LA-0091´.)(「現代日本の仕組と決断 政治・経済・文化と教育、E･F･ヴォーゲル」)(This book constitutes the first attempt of its kind to probe the major features of modern Japanese organization that have played such a critical role in Japan´s extraordinarily rapid economic development. The contributors include prominent academic business consultants such as Peter Drucker of the United States and Kazuo Noda of Japan ; Japanese government officials such as Yoshihisa Oojimi, former Administrative Vice-Minister of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, and Taishiro Shirai, a member of the Central Labor Relations Commission ; as well as outstanding Western experts on modern Japanese organization. The essays deal not only with Japanese government and business but also with the structures of a newspaper and a university and with the role of Japanese intellectuals in modern organization. ／The portrait of Japanese organization that emerges is much more dynamic and volatile than has been generally supposed. One finds business and government managers creatively using so-called ´traditional practices´ in novel ways and undertaking bold departures to achieve new purposes. The findings contradict the view that decisions stem from below. Not only do executives have an important role in initiating action ; but lower-level officials function within a context defined by their superiors. Far greater tensions and conflict exist within organizations than is commonly reported by outsiders, especially in institutions like the university where conflicts often paralyze the decision-making process. ／Similarly, there is far greater divergence of interests among different sectors of society than one might infer from the stereotypical view of ´Japan, Inc.´ And since the high level of consensus supporting the fundamental commitment to economic growth is now weakening, increasing divergence may be anticipated in the future. ◆Ezra F. Vogel is Professor of Sociology and Director of the East Asian Research Center at Harvard University. ▼CONTENTS／ ●I.POLITICAL ORGANIZATION／ Functional and Dysfunctional Aspects of Government Bureaucracy (Albert M.
