Research Abstract

We found the following points.
(1) The most important element which determines the promotion in the Japanese firms is individual performance. The followings are luck, full, and schoolong.
(2) Seniority system in Japan worked fairly well.
(3) Corporate governance in Japan suggests that firms in Japan can be judged as labor managed firms because employers attempt to keep employees' employment.
(4) "What university he graduated" is important to determine promotion.
(5) It is desirable to determine promotion based on individual performance, and to treat engineers more favorably.
(6) Professional workers should be treated equally as managerial workers.
