| Popis: | application/pdf It is said that Toyota was an exception to the slowdown of innovation in Japanese companies after the 1990s. The company continued to develop products that broke the conventional wisdom of the industry, such as Lexus, Prius, and Mirai. In the strong Japanese companies of the 1980s, innovation in the areas of knowledge creation, strategy creation, and organizational transformation was led by middle management. In the 80ʼs and 90ʼs, Japanese companies used their own up-and-down management to create innovation. Today, there is an awareness of the problem that since the 1990s, Japanese companies have been losing their middle managers who perform up-and-down management. The exception to this is Toyotaʼs chief engineer. This paper examines the factors behind the continued existence of Toyotaʼs chief engineers based on their product development cases and previous research. This study clarifies why the chief engineer, who does not evaluate his subordinates but only leads them, can have influence over them. |
