Description:

This study considers the future of industrial relations in Japan in the face of increasing economic pressures. It outlines recent trends in Japanese labour markets, labour law and corporate strategy and examines the changing interaction between the state, management and labour.

Synopsis:

Japanese Management and Labour in Transition explores the changing face of Japanese industrial relations. Part one of the work outlines recent trends in Japanese labour markets, labour law and corporate strategy, and explores the responses of both management and labour to pressure posed by these trends. Part two analyses the interaction between the state, management and labour, considering both the macro and the micro levels. This compilation of up-to-date research by leading Japanese scholars challenges the traditional view of 'lifetime' employment and focuses on the growing economic pressures that Japanese management and labour currently face.
