Abstract: | In the early 1980s Nissan was attracting much public attention for its enterprise abroad but its position in the domestic market was failing. This was due to a number of factors, notably conflict between labour and management. Following a change of Presidency in 1985, efforts were made to improve labour management relations. It is shown how a change in corporate culture affected corporate strategy and led to the turnaround of Nissan Motor. A new corporate philosophy was adopted with the focus on customer satisfaction. New models were introduced and a recovery in the domestic market was brought about. At the same time, the company started to expand overseas. The key to success was the construction of a network linking Nissan's global operations. |
