Why do many Japanese IT companies call themselves “manufacturers”? In this episode, I explore the historical roots of Japan’s major IT vendors, which originally started as hardware makers. Their culture of strict process control and product quality shaped the way they still develop software today—often using the waterfall model, similar to an assembly line in a factory. I also explain why Japanese clients, especially large corporations and government offices, value this “manufacturing mindset.” Finally, I discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this approach, and why adapting flexibility and speed has become essential in today’s global IT market.
