Large Japanese corporations have usually been researched according to one out of five main approaches. This short paper presents and discusses some dilemmas which emerged from a small research project where the first approach, access through the 'front door' by direct contact with the corporation's high-level representatives, was combined with direct contact and interviews with regular employees.
