商品描述
This open access book provides a glimpse into the Japanese management technique known as "Kaizen," and the ways it has been disseminated around the developing world. The novelty of this book is three-fold: it provides a contextualized view of the mechanisms of initiatives implementing Kaizen in developing countries; compared with productivity studies, it places the relationship between workers and managers at the center of inquiry, reflecting the intent of SDG8 concerning decent work and economic growth; and it provides an overview of the heterogeneity of Kaizen in terms of geography and firm size.
This book explores how improving management techniques can support firms' productivity and quality. Given its wide range of case studies from across Africa, Asia and Latin America, this book will be of value to scholars, policymakers and advocates of sustainable development alike.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本開放存取的書籍提供了對於日本管理技術「改善（Kaizen）」的瞥見，以及它在發展中國家的傳播方式。這本書的新穎之處有三個方面：首先，它提供了在發展中國家實施改善的機制的情境化視角；其次，與生產力研究相比，它將工人與管理者之間的關係置於研究的中心，反映了可持續發展目標8（SDG8）關於體面工作和經濟增長的意圖；最後，它概述了改善在地理和公司規模上的異質性。
本書探討了如何改善管理技術可以支持公司的生產力和質量。考慮到其來自非洲、亞洲和拉丁美洲的廣泛案例研究，本書對學者、政策制定者和可持續發展的倡導者都具有價值。
