Japan feels shame of cutting back
Article Abstract:
Many Japanese companies are now undertaking extensive restructuring, recognizing that it is no longer possible for them to offer their employees lifetime job security. They are shedding loss-making operations, as well as reducing capital spending and scaling down their workforce. This radical approach has attracted the attention of foreign investors, but it remains unclear whether economic recovery in Japan is imminent. Some observers believe that many companies remain unwilling to change.
