Status Acquisition of Business Elites

Yoshihiro Yamamoto and Takenori Takase

Japanese Economy, 1988, vol. 17, issue 2, 48-78

Abstract: The elite group, which is capable of exercising direct influence on industrial activities, consists of top managers at large corporations. Studies on who are members of this so-called business elite and how they have come to acquire such positions will give important clues to the understanding not only of the industrial world but also of the present status of the entire Japanese society. Knowledge about the origins and careers of the business elite leads to answers to the questions "How do people become business elites?" and, at the same time, "With whom does society replenish the business elite?" In this sense, the origins and careers of the business elite reflect characteristics of the social structure of the times.
