(★)(Do Japanese employees differ from their counterparts all over the rest of the world? If they do --and many seem to think so-- does the difference have any momentous economic significance? In two previous books, Professor Ballon and his collaborators explored the mechanics of Japanese business practices and the intricacies of joint ventures. Now they turn their attention to that indispensable human element in any economic enterprise, the worker. All aspects of Japan´s past industrial achievement cannot be fully understood until one becomes familiar with the people who form the core of this country´s economic effort. Foreign businessmen interested in promoting smoother personnel relations within their companies here in Japan, as well as anyone concerned with the function of employees in the business organism, will welcome the many helpful insights to be found in this book. ◆Born in Belgium, Robert J. Ballon first came to Japan in 1948. Since that time he has concentrated his professional scholarly interest upon Japanese labor-management relations. Currently Director of Finance and Professor of Labor Relations at Sophia University, he is also Director of the International Management Development Seminars regularly sponsored by the Socio-Economic Institute of the University. ▼CONTENTS／ ●PART I.INTRODUCING THE JAPANESE EMPLOYEE／Chapter one : The Japanese dimensions of industrial enterprise (Robert J.
