Let R be a commutative ring with identity. We will say that an R-module M has Nakayama property, if IM = M, where I is an ideal of R, implies that there exists aR such that aM = 0 and a − 1 ∈ I. Nakayama's Lemma is a well-known result, which states that every finitely generated R-module has Nakayama property. In this paper, we will study Nakayama property for modules. It is proved that R is a perfect ring if and only if every R-module has Nakayama property (Theorem 4.9).
