Drawing upon unusual and revealing examples – the production of French bread, Italian fashion and `post-Confucian’ Asian enterprises – he argues that their success cannot be reduced to `culture’ but must incorporate a fuller understanding of the ways in which organizations are constructed and reproduced. This analysis is carried through in a detailed discussion of the debate over why Japanese organizations are so successful.
