The vocational emphasis is also different in Japan. For
instance, there are only 6,000 qualified accountants,
which is one-twentieth of the number in the United
Kingdom. Japanese universities have a far greater thrust
in engineering than in business-oriented studies. There is
a decided absence of MBA programmes and, according to
Lorriman and Kenjo[3, p. 5], there are 70,000 MBA
graduates in the USA per annum compared with just 100
in Japan. Indeed, it is clear that postgraduate
management education is shunned by the Japanese, who
prefer to train their staff into their own corporate cultures.
