The Principle of Competition in Japan's Personnel System

Mitsuyo Hanada

Japanese Economy, 1988, vol. 17, issue 2, 3-22

Abstract: There has long been a strict principle of competition applied to promotions and acquisition of status in Japanese corporations. Innovations in the personnel system that are in progress in many of the Japanese corporations and adoption of new personnel policies have been possible only because of the application of this traditional strict principle of competition. However, only when a system is built in which there is still room for individual choices can the principle of competition be preserved in response to the current serious changes, and the unification of the needs of the organization and those of individuals begin.
