The daily work experiences of people in almost any part of the world are shaped by workplace innovations. This book provides a close-up of eight Japanese affiliated manufacturing facilities operating in the United States, tracing the flow of ideas from Japan to the US and the beginnings of a reverse diffusion of innovation back to Japan.
