I think tendencies in rpgs and relative success/feasabilty of actually realizing lean production is more likely manifestations of underlying cultural differences than any direct relation with these (concrete) management/process ideas.

Oh yes, that's what I was thinking.

I wasn't implying that kaizen was causing culture which was causing JRPGs. I was implying that the same culture was causing kaizen and JRPGs.

I was also talking only about kaizen, rather than about any of the other management ideas touched on in the article.
