Long-lived Family Businesses in Japan: Factors of Success
Japanese family businesses are among the oldest in the world and many of them prove a history record of 200 years and more. Research on several case studies of century old firms (‘shinise’) in Japan reveal three factors as secrets of their longevity: (1) the Japanese family system (‘ie’) favours the eldest son for succession; (2) the option for adopting a capable successor; (3) the inclusion of the relationships with employees, customers, and members of the local community into the strategic decision making. The analysis deals with the succession process in Japan compared to the WIFU Model of Succession in German family firms, and rounds off with perspectives on how to deal with the challenges the Japanese family businesses face regarding the recent changes in the Japanese society.
Family Firms and Business Families in Cross-Cultural Perspective
This edited volume provides an anthropological study of family businesses and business families. In previous research on family firms and business families, the comparative cross-cultural approach of anthropology has so far received little attention. As a result, family firms and business families are too often analyzed without considering cultural and kinship differences adequately. Similarly, although the topics of kinship and the economy are central to anthropological analysis, research on family firms and business families has been a marginal topic only that lacks in-depth discussions within anthropology.

East Asian Ethical Life and Socio-Economic Transformation in the Twenty-First Century
This book considers ethical culture in East Asia, examines the impact it has had on economic and social transformation, and explores what effect it might have on solving current problems. It views the ethical culture of East Asia, that is, the beliefs, values, and practices that define East Asian societies’ conceptions of ethics in everyday life, as different from what pertains in the West, with more emphasis in East Asia on respect for ancestors, concern about propriety of behaviour, and notions of community. The book discusses how these particular East Asian values are being applied, for example, in family businesses, and how they might further be applied to solve current crucial challenges for humanity, such as climate change, ageing, and persistent inequality, challenges that are not being solved by an exclusive focus on economic growth alone. The book includes a consideration of ethical innovation, for example, distinct forms of ecological ethics enshrined in newly emerging economic organizations, such as social entrepreneurship.
Erfolgsmuster langlebiger Familienunternehmen in Japan
Japanische Familienunternehmen gehören zu den langlebigsten der Welt, viele blicken auf eine Geschichte von 200 Jahren und mehr zurück. Anhand der historischen und kulturellen Rahmenbedingungen werden in diesem Band mittels Fallbeispielen drei Faktoren identifiziert, die diese Langlebigkeit begünstigt haben: (1) das japanische Familiensystem favorisiert den ältesten Sohn für die Nachfolge; (2) Adoption eines Mitglieds der Zweigfamilie, des Schwiegersohns oder eines fähigen Managers als Möglichkeit, auf Nachfolgeschwierigkeiten flexibel zu reagieren; (3) Beziehungen zu Mitarbeitenden, Kunden, Zulieferern und Mitgliedern der örtlichen Gemeinde werden in die Perspektiven zur Kontinuität einbezogen. Die BeiträgerInnen analysieren zudem, wie Familienunternehmen mit der Herausforderung des Wertewandels in der japanischen Gesellschaft umgehen.

Ritual and Its Consequences
Drawing on examples from many places and times, this work argues for the continuing tension across historical contexts between movements emphasizing ritual and movements emphasizing sincerity. It contends that our contemporary age has, at great risk, downplayed the importance of ritual.
