The Japanese Way (1974x19)

Air date: Jul 09, 1974

The Japanese provoke strong reactions. We admire their industrial skill, we envy their commercial success. But some of us remember the Burma Campaign; others simply feel suspicious of 'oriental cunning' of strange minds and strange ways of doing things. What happens then when a Japanese firm sets up a factory in Britain with Japanese bosses and a British workforce? Do the Japanese find our workers lazy and inefficient? Can they adjust and how in fact, does a group of English natives react to the Japanese way of doing things?
