Abstract
The new managing director of Yoshihira Heavy Industries proposes to implement a two-month vacation plan. Although finding volunteers for an initial vacation experiment is difficult, eventually a few come forward. Later many of the vacationers decide to defect from the company altogether. This was the result the director had in mind all along, as a way to deal with the middle management squeeze. At the story''s end, two commentators (one American, one Japanese) offer their perspectives on the issues.
