Abstract
Spurred by recession, major Japanese corporations have reduced their workforces, introduced merit pay and performance appraisal, abolished promotion on seniority and moved production overseas. These have been unsettling to a culture which prides itself on stability, continuity, group support and harmony. But many small- and medium-size companies have seized the opportunity to create new products, fill market niches - and put many of the people dismissed from large corporations back into productive work.
