This article analyses Japanese acceptance of Mintzberg's suggestions by examining the responses of a questionnaire. Based on the responses, two major lessons from Mintzberg for the Japanese might be to pursue balance among four characteristics of strategy and to use the left‐side of the brain more. In addition, the article examines the issues for Japanese management now. It suggests the need to practise strategic management as Japanese corporations progress towards the 21st century.
