Theory Z is a management philosophy derived from a hybrid of American and Japanese business styles. It involves:
Longer-term secure employment
Co-operative relationships between employers and employees
Consensual management and decision making
Measured evaluation and promotion procedures
Adequate training and job rotation
Personal responsibility within a group setting
Respect for family life, culture and traditions
Largely anecdotal evidence has suggested a correlation between this approach and improved productivity and job satisfaction.
U.S. business consultant and academic William G Ouchi first publicised this approach in 1981 in a best-selling book entitled 'Theory Z: How American Management Can Meet the Japanese Challenge'. At the time Japanese companies were outperforming their US counterparts and Ouchi argued that the USA could learn from their business and management practices.
