Using data from surveys of white collar workers and corporate board members, the authors explain the prerequisites for promotion to middle management and executive positions. They examine criteria such as the extent of desire for promotion, working style, lifestyle, the level of education attained, the effect of university education, the economic incentive behind severe competition for promotion, and the role of trade unions. Other topics include issues of corporate governance, the role of the incentive system, and the popularity of labor managed firms in Japan. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
