Recession in Japan has changed the face of Japanese industrial
relations. Part one of the study outlines recent trends in Japanese
labour markets, labour law and corporate strategy. It focuses on
specific categories of labour such as: white collar workers; women
workers; foreign workers; and older workers. The second part
examines the changing interaction between the state, management and
labour at both the macro and micro level. Topics include: the
public sector and privatisation; collective bargaining and joint
consultation; and labour-management relations in small firms.
Drawing on research from leading Japanese scholars, this study
considers the future of industrial relations in Japan in the face
of increasing economic pressures.
Recent economic trends are changing forever the face of Japanese
industrial relations; "Japanese Management and Labour" explores
these changes. Authors Mari Sako and Hiroko Sato examine the
responses of both Japanese management and labour, and that of the
Japanese government, to these economic transitions. In Part 1 of
the work, recent trends in Japanese labour markets, labour law and
corporate strategy are explored. As labour and management yield to
these new economic pressures, changes in industrial relations are
shown to be the inevitable result. Part 2 analyses the interaction
between the state, management and labour. Both the macro and the
micro levels are given full consideration, as the government of
Japan seeks to strike a balance between the often antithetical
needs of labour and management. This compilation of current
research has been collected by leading Japanese scholars, and
effectively challenges the traditional view of lifetime' employment
while focusing on the growing economic pressures that Japanese
management and labour currently face. "Japanese Management and
Labour" is sure to add to the lively debate now taking place
regarding management in recessionary Japan.
