Book Reviews of Confucius Lives Next Door: What Living in the East Teaches Us About Living in the West
Book Review: EASY READING. VERY INSIGHTFUL.
Summary: 4 Stars
A thoroughly enjoyable book! I gained new insight into East Asian Confucian values and, in particular, how those values contrast to Western ideals in relation to education, business, and society in general. I purchased this book to supplement my current studies of the Toyota Production System (Lean Manufacturing) and its on-going implementation in Western companies. The chapters which dealt with the Japanese education system, NKK's "reinvention" of itself, and annual Japanese national holidays specifically designed to promote group unity and cooperation, were particularly informative. Read this book if you've heard the term "the Asian Century" and wondered what the experts are talking about. My only criticism (if you can call it that), is that the book is only 249 pages long. I wish that the author had provided more depth to the subjects covered. In that regard, I look forward to the sequel..."Confucius Lives Next Door-II".
