Description
Notes from Toyota-land, based on a diary that Mehri kept during his three years at an upper-level Toyota group company, provides a unique insider’s perspective on daily work life in Japan and charts his transformation from a wide-eyed engineer eager to be part of the “Japanese Miracle” to a social critic, troubled by Japanese corporate practices.
