Choose and Focus
Japanese Business Strategies for the 21st Century
ULRIKE SCHAEDE
Choose and Focusprovides a sound review of Japanese postwar
development and is a good background for Japans development over
the last decade. This is a well-written and very interesting book, and
we would definitely agree with Schaede that parts of the New Japan
are emerging, and the choose and focus strategy is one of the most
critical for Japanese corporations in the twenty-first century.

Walter does excellent work laying out the politico-economic dynamic

likely to converge quickly, if at all, with the stated (and ever changing)
