| contents | La transferencia del sistema japonés de producción hacia un país en desarrollo Gerardo Otero Junko Otomo Estudios Territoriales Honda Culture Labor organization Japanese production system Organizational improvement This paper contributes to the debate about the transferabilityof the Japanese Production System (J P S) towards different cultural contexts, and particularly to Mexico. Such debate has been polarized between those who say that J P S cannot be transfered to other cultures, because it is bounded to the Japanese culture and those who argues that J P S is transferable as long as it does consist of organizational innovations which can function in different cultural contexts. Although this is a ideal-type description of the debate, most of the participants have offered arguments and data supporting either a ?cultural position? or an ?organizational position?, as we termed here. We argue that a most promising approach to the transferability of the J P S is a synthetic approach that combines both perspectives. More over, we sustain that the organizational thesis is stronger than the cultural one. However, J P S can be transfered more successfully and in a shorter period of time, if there are certain similarities to the Japanese culture. We support our argument by presentingboth secondary material and a case study of the Honda of Mexico autoplant. This paper is divided in two part s. Firstly, we draw on some authors to discuss several case studies about J P S transference to other developed countries. These cases? results are ambivalent , but they tend to support the ?organizational? thesis. Secondly, we present our fieldwork and data from a survey applied to workers of Honda of Mexico in 1997.The findings lend support to our synthetic hypothesis. 1999 artículo científico 1870-3925 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=10201801 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=102 Región y Sociedad application/pdf El Colegio de Sonora Región y Sociedad (México) Num.18 Vol.XI |
