This study examines the level of application of Japanese-style management to the Czech Republic from the perspective of hybridization, by employing a survey of Japanese manufacturing firms based in this country. The survey reveals that the Japanese system of production control is strictly enforced, while work organization, labour relations and group consciousness have been—despite targeted practices used by Japanese companies to facilitate application of the Japanese system—largely adapted to the local conditions. Furthermore, this study identifies the transitional process from relying upon Japanese expatriates towards engaging local human resources in the parent-subsidiary relationship. In addition, even though the Japanese-style procurement method is applied with a large number of local suppliers, the local content ratio nevertheless remains relatively low in the Czech Republic. Overall, Japanese manufacturing firms, via their vigorous effort to transfer their distinctive management style, are challenging European business practices and Czech socio-cultural traditions, even though the level of hybridization is strongly variegated according to particular management spheres.

日式管理向捷克转移：以日本制造企业为例

本研究通过对设在捷克的日本制造企业的调查，从混合的角度考察日式管理在捷克共和国的应用水平。调查显示，日本的生产控制制度是严格执行的，而工作组织、劳资关系和群体意识——尽管日本公司为促进日本制度的应用而采取了有针对性的做法——在很大程度上适应了当地情况。此外，本研究确定了从依赖日本外派人员到在母子公司关系中聘用当地人力资源的过渡过程。此外，即使大量本地供应商采用日式采购方式，尽管如此，捷克共和国的本地含量比率仍然相对较低。总体而言，日本制造企业通过大力转变其独特的管理风格，正在挑战欧洲的商业惯例和捷克的社会文化传统，尽管混合程度因特定管理领域而异。
