Inside the Japanese Company [Hardcover]

Graham explores the attitudes of Japanese employees towards their work, their company and on related issues. Based on extensive original research inside a Japanese insurance company (C-Life), which subsequently went bankrupt, the book shows that attitudes towards lifetime employment, company loyalty and the other characteristics of Japanese working life, which are often portrayed in stereotype form in the West, are in fact more complicated than is at first apparent.Chapter 1 Introduction: The Economic Background  Chapter 2 Literature Review  Chapter 3 The Company  Chapter 4 The Career  Chapter 5 The Company and Life  Chapter 6 The Company and Human Relations  Chapter 7 Ideology, Groupism and Individualism
