Local heroes?

Abstract

In today’s increasingly competitive business world, training is gaining the same kind of status as motherhood and apple pie. But a Japan‐based multinational supermarket chain offers a more thorough and all‐embracing training programme to its Japanese graduates than to those it recruits in Hong Kong. The differences highlight the company’s differing assumptions about the level of commitment and future role of its Japanese and foreign managers.
