Seller's Description:
Japanese Studies series. xxvi+467 pages with index. Cloth. Very good indeed in like dustjacket. "Enterprise Unionism in Japan" represents 20 years' research by Hirosuke Kawanishi into the enterprise union in Japan, a unique form of union organization which has received considerable attention as a result of recent interest in learning from Japan's experience in industrial relations. The study begins by demonstrating that the commonly accepted model of "one firm, one union" is simplistic and misleading. The volume is divided into three parts: the first surveys the development of enterprise unionism in Japan; the second uses case studies to delve into the reasons for labour's retreat from its traditional role in the industrial relations arena in Japan; the third uses case studies to comment on the potential of the enterprise union in the last decade of this century. A major finding is that the enterprise union has become a tool of management, and that democracy is not well in Japanese industry. This study raises serious questions for those abroad to advance the Japanese approach to industrial relations as a model for other societies. "Enterprise Unionism in Japan" is essential reading for those with a specific interest in Japanese society and management, as well as those with a broad comparative interest in industrial relations and the future of industrial society.
