Abstract
This article explains white‐collar Human Resource Management practices in large Japanese manufacturing firms. It first deals with the structural characteristics of white‐collar HRM systems and some of its constraints. Then, the article discribes the personnel staff organization and analyzes in detail the four basic HRM functions: selection, development, appraisal, and rewards with data collected in two large Japanese firms. Implications for Western managers are suggested in the conclusion.Keywords
