| Abstract: | A typical Japanese chief executive officer is very different from a Western equivalent. The promotional structure is based on seniority and length of service. Evaluation of performance is constant through the 20-30 years a person may work for a company before gaining senior management level. The Japanese government and financial institutions retain control and influence over business by sending retired senior officials into very senior positions in lower ranked companies. Key attributes of Japanese chief executive officers are interpersonal skills and marketing or financial abilities. The future of this heritage, however, is uncertain in the face of the rapid internationalization of Japanese business. |
