| Research Abstract |
In this research project, career development practices in large Japanese companies are examined as a means of forecasting possible future management trends in Japan. Based on in-depth interviews, the data shows that a new career development paradigm has emerged in these companies. The results indicate that there is a significant difference in the traditional career development paradigm compared with the emerging career development paradigm in each of the four key career development areas: 1) training, 2) promotion, 3) transfers, and 4) career planning. In this emerging career development paradigm, the emphasis is on employees being made more responsible for their own career development. The implications of these shifts in career development-practices in Japan-are discussed.
