Summary: If there are those who believe principles of administration are universal or principles of production can be separated from cultural contexts, let them read The Other Worker.After six years' collaboration, alternately living in and working in the other's country, an American and a Japanese author present a study which combines an institutional approach to industrial relations in Japan and the United States with empirical data from a questionnaire survey of 2,000 "rank and file" workers.Industrial planners and people involved with international relations on either side of the Pacific will find surprising insight into the "other workers" perceptions of their obligations to their culture and their jobs, their feelings of responsibility toward management, and management's responsibilities to them.The professional lives of the authors seem to parallel. The Other Worker was prepared for publication while both men were senior specialists at the East-West Center in Honolulu. Both have published widely in their separate countries, both have been involved in exchange Fulbright programs, and both are in demand as management consultants.
