Changes in Organizational Structure and New Developments in Personnel Management

Japanese Economy, 1995, vol. 23, issue 5, 74-96

Abstract: Within the current information technology revolution, the middle management system is being forced to make large changes. The results of a survey of Japan's large corporations show that due to organizational flattening and the transfer of authority to lower-level employees, status promotion levels are more intricate, status promotion requirements focus more on knowledge and ability than on the number of years of experience, and the importance of on-the-job training is increasing. Therefore, this appears to indicate a reform in the personnel management paradigm from one which has normally focused on seniority to one which focuses on the effective use of individual knowledge and ability.
