...society with a not so distant feudal past. Changes are slowly taking place, but disciplined workers still display an almost mystical loyalty to their companies, and paternalistic employers reciprocate by guaranteeing job security.

Still, a directorship remains a sure sign of having made it in the business world. Few women have broken through the well-guarded boardroom door: only 276 women sit on boards of the nation's biggest 1,300 corporations. They tend to be concentrated in packaged-goods and other consumer-related companies...
