"The notion of leadership in Japan's group-orientated society has always presented both a quantitative and qualitative difference when compared with Western experience. Yet, as this volume shows, Japan may have had fewer so-called 'leaders', but has excelled as a society of 'kingmakers'. On the other hand, the way leadership is expressed derives from different values and perceptions of hierarchy.

Drawing on many of the informed and challenging papers given at the 1994 highly successful triennial conference of the European Association of Japanese Studies, held in Copenhagen, this volume is of particular interest in the context of Japan's evolving societal, economic and industrial status, both from a domestic and international point of view."
