Abstract

We would like to look specifically at the entrepreneurs who flourished through this spirit – at management, that is,rather than at workers We hear the thoughts of business leaders on the relationship between corporate management and cleaning and use them to clarify how they arrived at their unique views of management. These Japanese companies introduced cleaning when they were in the process of expanding economically or addressing management issues such as fostering discipline, diligence, or improved safety procedures. We also encounter companies that adopted cleaning as part of their efforts to instill a sense of social mission or embrace a greater social role. More concretely still, Japanese companies took this step as they sought to discover and embrace values that transcended the profit principle.
