Hardback. Condition: New. In Work and Pay in the United States and Japan, authors Clair Brown, Yoshifumi Nakata, Michael Reich, and Lloyd Ulman provide an integrated and detailed analysis of the components of firm human resources systems in the US and Japan. Drawing on data obtained from fieldwork in comparable establishments in these two countries, as well as from national sources, this work examines the relationship between company practices and national economic institutions. The authors address a number of key questions about employer-employee relations. How have major Japanese manufacturing companies been able to convert the assurance of "lifetime" employment security into a source of superior employee efficiency and adaptability, when job and income security have been feared as a source of "shirking" and wage inflation in the US? How have higher economic and real wage growth rates been associated with greater equality in earned income distribution in Japan, when the incentive role of income inequality to worker effort and savings has been stressed in the US? How could Japanese emphasis on employment security in the firm be reconciled with greater price stability and lower unemployment than in the US? This work analyses elements such as employee training and involvement programs, wage behavior as an incentive system and an alternate channel of savings, and synchronous wage determination (shunto) at work in the Japanese economy that provide for such successes. The book also explores the costs that have been associated with these Japanese accomplishments, as well as who must bear them. In particular, it examines how Japanese women compare less favorably with American women in terms of opportunities for work, pay, and promotion; the higher hours of working time for men in Japan than in the US; and the constraints on mobility for Japanese workers. It also poses the question of whether Japanese unions are weaker than their American counterparts, or just more sensible and far-sighted. Finally, this \ork examines the outlook for these distinctive Japanese institutions and practices in a period of slower growth and economic "maturity." Based on a research project carried out in both countries, the book concludes with the lessons that each country can learn much from the employment practices of the other. Work and Pay in the United States and Japan will be essential reading for students, professors, and all professionals involved with employment systems and employer-employee relations.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the summer of 1998, as many times before, Michael decided to take a small vacation at his favorite place on earth, the Blue Ridge Mountains. Hiking the Appalachian Trail to the top of Mt. Lecont contains some of the most beautiful views that God made on Earth. The trail starts as an easy grade, then crosses a few streams, runs along a road, and then begins a steep four- mile climb to Mt. Lecont. This trip would prove different than any other time he hiked the trails. This time what he would see, feel, and discover would change his life. Meanwhile, in the big city, a hard working neurologist who spent all of her life in school and working, decided that she needed a change in her life. A trip to her sister's in Detroit would give her time to rest and decide what to do with her life. All airline reservations to Detroit were booked; so, she decided to drive. An accidental detour through the Blue Ridge Mountains would change her life forever. This is where they both would find their true strength, and find their Final Destiny.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the year 2005, technology was persistent on the verge of exploration with exciting breakthroughs. Although it was Professor Michael Brendan's time to shine, his time was running out. His grant was with the stem cell's Nano-Bot reproduction program. Nana-bot's technology was what many called 'star trek mumbo-jumbo' and a waste of good government money. Funny, have you ever heard of such a thing as bad government money? The Professor produced functioning nana-bots that could be programmed to repair anything needed, but they could not replicate or reproduce at any rate. This was essential for the use in human medicine and for use of the bots in the near future. Three days from the cancellation of his program, Professor Brendan decided to take a day off before the obvious failing of his occupation that he had embarked on nearly ten years before. Approximately an hour from his home, is a place known as Area 51, where an alien spaceship was said to have crashed in the late 50's. However, we all know there are no certainties of alien existence, but the government appears to be heavily guarded. This leads to the question, "Are aliens myth or legend?" The Professor used metal detecting and treasure hunting as a way to escape the everyday world. He was given a three day clearance to metal detect Area 51 for the first time ever. His discovery today would lead to advancement in science and medicine more so the next 72 hours, than science has seen in the past 1000 years. This item is printed on demand.
