How does time affect Japanese management in foreign countries? In order to resolve this question, the same research was conducted in 1989 and again in 2000 in the United States at companies in the same industries. In addition, the same longitudinal research at the same companies in Brazil and Argentina was compared in 2001 and 2006.
