Hi JSK-

   One of the best things I've read on the subject is "The Reckoning" by 
David Halberstam. He chooses two companies, Ford and Nissan, each the 
embodiment of it's society and tells their stories side by side. At the end 
we see the enterprising Koreans looking purposively over the shoulders of the 
Japanese, whom they call "the lazy Asians".
