Dynamic and Structured Interdependence
W. Mark Fruin (Contributor Webpage)
In this concluding chapter, the historical underpinnings of the Japanese enterprise system are reviewed and the dynamic nature of the structural and strategic adjustments between factory, firm, and interfirm network are emphasized. The Japanese enterprise system, it is argued, is an inter‐organizational innovation of local design, major significance, and global proportion. The different sections of the chapter discuss the making of the Japanese enterprise system, the corporation and its environment, the bases for coalition‐building, the theoretical implications of interorganizational cooperation, hierarchical origins and outcomes, order and reciprocity in interdependence, the development and evolution of the Japanese enterprise system, and the divergent development of firms in Japan and the West.
