The New Spirit of Capitalism in Japan? The theory of the »New Spirit of Capitalism« as elaborated by Luc Boltanski and Eve Chiapello (1999), has not received very much attention in Japan so far. Nonetheless, this »new spirit« is spreading in Japan as well as in Western countries. It may be more difficult to observe this occurrence in Japan, however, because of the fact that traditional structures, management methods and gratification systems are still predominant in and represented by extended enterprises, which have been the center of attention for foreign researchers for decades. The article starts with a short summary of the »New Spirit of Capitalism« theory and clarifies some of the literature which focuses on this topic in Japan. Next, the article outlines the eminent characteristics of the Japanese management and gratification system and its historical basis. These are contrasted with case studies of startup entrepreneurs, their biographies, ideas and principles of management. Some of them have been extraordinarily successful in managing to build up a new company, mostly in the IT, finance or insurance sectors. It is emphasized that these entrepreneurs represent the »New Spirit of Capitalism« in Japan and, despite being few in number, are exerting enormous influence on economic and educational politics.
