This reaction couples the preceding article with a previous article written by Robinson and Schroeder (1993) on the same topic on a little‐known piece of training history. Although management programs of U.S. origin in Japan have had an impact on Japanese manufacturing for more than forty years, it was not until the 1980s that U.S. businesses and education began paying attention to them. Robinson and Stern should be recognized for unearthing and meticulously researching this information, which had nearly been lost.
