| Summary | Japanese companies are in the midst of a drastic structural change due to globalization, the growth of service industry in the economy and the development of technological innovations and informational technology. Each company's enforcement of its main business, review of its management strategies and its organizational change seem to have a big effect on the management of labor and hiring.
