Reviews

'I believe this book is excellent not only because it is a reliable book about economics of internal promotion in Japanese firms, but also because it presents subjects that need to be studied further. I hope that this book will be extensively read by researchers on labour economics, economics of organisation and the Japanese economy in English-speaking areas.'
