Abegglen received a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Chicago. He also did his postdoctoral study at Harvard University.
Abegglen served in the United States Marine Corps in the Pacific theatre during World War II and was injured on Guam and Iwo Jima. His first visit to Japan occurred in 1945 when he worked with the Strategic Bombing Survey to question residents regarding their views on the government and the country's future following the war. Later, he returned to the United States to study.
In 1955 he came back to Japan on a Ford Foundation fellowship, which allowed him to spend two years studying the organizational differences between the United States and Japanese businesses. He became a founding officer of the Boston Consulting Group's Tokyo branch in 1966 and later started his own company, Asia Advisory Service K.K. He also was a professor and director of the Graduate School of Comparative Culture at Sophia University and dean emeritus of the Globis University Graduate School of Management, where he taught Management of Japanese Enterprises until his death.
In addition, Abegglen authored and co-authored a number of books on Japan, which include The Japanese Factory, Kaisha, the Japanese Corporation, Sea Change and others.
