Developing and Implementing a Framework to Study Human Resource Management in 'Venture Companies' (Start-up Companies) in Japan

This paper outlines an exploratory research framework used to study Human Resource Management (HRM) systems, practices and issues in Venture Companies (start-up companies) in Japan. After clarifying the terminology used, which in turn determines the scope of research, and reviewing the Japanese literature, the paper attempts to position HRM in the context of Venture Companies in Japan. A longitudinal case study based on qualitative research approaches suggested for the research framework focuses on the need to appreciate the processes of HRM within the context of each individual Venture Company as well as enable new understandings to emerge in data grounded in the research field. Since the study has already commenced with ongoing analysis as part of the research process, the paper will draw from some preliminary findings to highlight some features of both the research framework and issues surrounding HRM in one of the companies involved in the study.
