The Japanese are good at managing foreign blue-collar workers

Yesterday I attended a seminar on Japanese way of management abroad. One thing which drew my attention was the statement that the Japanese managers are good at dealing with blue-collar workers, but disastrous in competing with fellow foreign managers: not only the lack of language proficiency, but also lack of strategic thinking.

Sad, really sad. Well, we will draw back our factories to Japan again. The wage level in Japan has not gone up these fifteen years. We are becoming cheap labor again.
