Reviews
All in all, Keizer has done an excellent job in presenting...a balanced set of conclusions, skilfully avoiding the overblown rhetoric of previous studies that have hailed a complete transformation or collapse in lifetime employment in Japan. The book deserves to be read by scholars from the fields of management studies, economics, and sociology who are interested in contemporary employment practices in developed countries, and is an excellent example for graduate students who are themselves engaged in firm level field work. In short, this book is a welcome dose of good sense on a subject that routinely requires a grounding in real world data analysis in order to retain balance. I look forward to reading more from Keizer as he deepens and extends this research. -- Peter Matanle, Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations -- 66-4, 2011
