Abstract: The study this book represents is unique in the English language, and, perhaps, in Japanese as well. Only Makoto Ohtsu and his coauthor, Tomio Imanari, could have produced it. Both Professor Ohtsu and Mr. Imanari were members of the class at Keio Gijuku University, which provided the sample for the research. As an undergraduate, Ohtsu joined the English Speaking Society at Keio. Later, he earned a Ph.D. in labor and industrial relations at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and lived in the United States and Canada for many years before assuming his professorial post at Nanzan University in Nagoya, Japan. Imanari, a registered professional consultant, spent his career as an executive in the Kirin Brewery Company and is well known in professional circles as a writer on management analysis. Together they have known virtually all thirty-six of the sampled individuals on a personal basis for much of their lives. The study is a model for both sampling method and factual reliability.
