Críticas:

A fascinating and engaging book ... a rare inside look at corporate life in Japan, one that's worth more than a dozen business-school studies. (Matthew Lynn Bloomberg)

Full of wonderful vignettes and details. (Harriet Sergeant Spectator)

Murtagh gives a fascinating account of a system that is misunderstood, even satirised, in the West. (Iain Finlayson Culture Vulture Books)

Reseña del editor:

Why on earth would anyone give up a life on the open road for the regimen of a vast Japanese conglomerate? And is it really so different in Japan from everywhere else? Niall Murtagh spent years as a world traveller - hitchhiking to Istanbul, bussing to Kathmandu and crossing the Atlantic in a home-built yacht. In 1986 he closed the door on his adventurous life and settled down in Japan, eventually joining Mitsubishi as a Salaryman - a man in a shiny suit with a shiny attache case in a conglomerate with 100,000 employees. And what happens when you give up the Salaryman life? The book follows life after the corporation, giving fresh perspectives on the nature of Japanese business culture and the problems faced by outsiders in Japan.
