Based upon an extensive survey and an intensive case analysis of U. S. and Japanese large corporations, characteristics of Japanese management are identified. Compared to U. S. firms, Japanese firms put emphasis on growth objectives, long-term resource accumulation, internal growth and a competitive strategy based upon continuous improvements of production systems and rely on decentralized organic organizations, invisible control based upon shared values and informatin, frequent interactions within organizations, human relations-oriented leadership and emergent participation of a lage number of people. These characteristics suggest the existence of a Japanese mode of organizational adaptation. Based upon empirical data, four modes of organizational adaptation are identified. In order to explain why the Japanese mode works, an evolutionary model of organizational adaptation is presented. The evolutionary model explains the adaptive behavior of organization in three phase ; variation, selection and retention. The model explains how the variations generated at various work-site are selectively organized into a new strategy of an organization.
