I'm looking for a word or concept that represents the opposite of Kaizen. Kaizen, as I understand, refers to continuous improvement. So, I'm wondering what would be the antithesis of this philosophy, something that represents stagnation, decline, or the absence of progress.

The Japanese term Kaikaku literally translates to "radical change." This highlights its distinction from Kaizen, which is more incremental and steady.
