Japanese‐Style Management
Japanese‐style management (JSM) ( nihonteki keiei ) is a loosely defined term used to indicate the way in which work was organized and employees managed in firms and other corporate bodies in postwar Japan. As a historical descriptor, its meaning has shifted over time as microeconomic and macroeconomic realities changed. At the same time, the term is used to distinguish those employment practices that are alleged to be uniquely Japanese ( nihonte…
J apanese‐Style Management
This entry traces the rise and fall of interest in a model known as “Japanese‐style management.” To benefit from sharing experiences in a wide range of areas, members of the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development began a series of country reviews in the 1970s. Attention regarding industrial relations came to focus on Japan. Its economic success during the 1960s and 1970s—in its high growth rates with low unemployment rates, reduce…
Images Of Japanese Society Hb
The popular image of Japanese society is a steroetypical one - that of a people characterised by a coherent set of thought and behaviour patterns, applying to all Japanese and transcending time. Ross Mouer and Yoshio Sugimoto found this image quite incongruous during their research for this book in Japan. They ask whether this steroetype of the Japanese is not only generated by foreigners but by the Japanese themselves. This is likely to be a con…
Exporting Japan’s culture
For well over a century Japan has been exporting aspects of its culture. Toward the end of the 19th century, World Fairs in Paris and elsewhere offered Japan an early opportunity to take that which was 'Japanesque' to the Western world. The first half of the 20th century saw Japanese culture - especially the Japanese language, various technologies and ideas about architecture, archaeology, infrastructure and how to run government - disseminated t…
The Cambridge Companion to Modern Japanese Culture

The Cambridge Companion to Modern Japanese Culture traces the cultural transformation that took place over the course of …
Japanese‐Style Management
Japanese‐style management (JSM)( nihonteki kei‐ei ) is a loosely defined term used to indicate the way employees are managed in firms and other organizations in Japan. Accordingly, its meaning changes as micro‐economic realities change. At the same time, the term is used to distinguish from management practices in Japan more generally ( nihon no kei‐ei or nihon ni okeru kei‐ei ) those employment practices that are alleged to be uniquely Japanese …
Shushin Koyo
Literally translated as “end‐of‐life employment,” shushin koyo is commonly rendered as “lifetime employment.” The term has often been used out of context to refer to a practice of hiring employees at a young age and then continuously employing them until they die. This usage is associated with an emphasis on mutual commitment between the employer and the employee within a paternalistic framework. Some have argued that the employment relationship …
Nenko Chingin
Nenko chingin was a central concept in discussions of Japanese‐style management in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. A shorthand for nenko joretsu chingin seido (literally, “age‐merit ordered wage system”), the term has commonly been rendered in English as the seniority wage system. It continues to be used to describe a variety of payment schemes which link age and merit to the wages received by Japanese employees in many established firms. Although t…
Enterprise Unions
The enterprise union ( kigyobetsu kumiai ) has been the dominant form of union organization in post‐war Japan. When the interest in Japan's economic prowess suddenly surfaced in the 1970s, the kigyobetsu kumiai was singled out as one of the three features constituting the Japanese model of industrial relations. Possibly the least understood of the three, the enterprise union was often confused with the company union and an approach to employee re…
A Sociology of Work in Japan
What shapes the decisions of employees in Japan? The authors of this comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the relationship between work and society in Japan argue that individual decisions about work can only be understood through the broader social context. Many factors combine to affect such choices including the structuring of labour markets, social policy and, of course, global influences which have come increasingly to impinge on the organ…

Le mouvement syndical au Japon. Quel avenir
Cet article part du constat à l'effet que le taux de syndicalisation a chuté entre 1975 et 1996, au Japon. Les auteurs soulignentle fait que l'impact de la technologie et la pression en faveur de l'efficacité sont deux facteurs importants de la segmentationdu marché du travail en trois groupes, soit la main-d'oeuvre centrale, la main-d'oeuvre semi-centrale et la main-d'oeuvre périphérique.Ils indiquent aussi que suite à la fusion des deux organis…
