Formation and Dissemination of “Management Way”

A Case of Komatsu Way

Abstract

Studies of business ethics and international management have traditionally highlighted controlling organizations and individuals by formation and dissemination of “management way.” However, in the case of Komatsu Ltd., there is a possibility that dissemination of “management way” is to develop local personnel who can manage a branch overseas. In addition, the management way (the Komatsu Way) can be revised in response to situations. Not only Japanese but also foreign subsidiaries can concern this revision.
