The weak get weaker, and the strong get stronger-

Most Japanese companies are downsizing and letting people over 45 go like there was no tomorrow. Toyota, on the other hand, is doing quite well and is positioned to set a new high water profitability mark for Japanese companies.

As a strategic investment Toyota shook hands with Recruit to form a new joint venture focused on personnel development for companies in the manufacturing industry. Needless to say the best and brightest will probably end up somewhere in the Toyota organization. Even those that aren't targeted to work directly for Toyota will end up with a strong level of loyalty and sense of obligation towards Toyota.
