Abstract
Through an analysis of the long-range planning systems of successful Japanese corporations, we can discover how the strategic decisions are arrived at in Japan, and by what means the strategic decision can succeed. Formal long-range planning covers many areas of strategic decisions, so the analysis of the planning process shows the formal behaviour pattern of the organization. As in the previous chapter, we will analyse the formation of goals and policies, organizational process and the features of information processing.
