‘All in all, the book provides a useful overview of what Japanese managers do . . . the data sets provide interesting descriptive information about the role of managers in the internal labour market of Japanese firms.’
– Masao Nakamura, Journal of Japanese Studies
‘The book has a much more discriminating and fine-grained approach than earlier research.’
– Prabhu Guptara, Journal of Japanese Trade and Industry
The nature of Japanese firms has come under intense scrutiny because of their international success and their distinct structure, employee relations and working practices. This book sheds light on the reasons for promotion within firms, the distribution of power within companies, business management methods and the relationship between shareholders, executives and employees.
