This tradition is has been carried among the Japaneses for many years. It is a sign of respect towards one another as well those hold high ranks. Those who are or have lower status will bow more lower than those of a higher status. Also those who have lower status will tend to those of higher status need more so their own. This is usually done among co-workers.
Not only is this done in the business world, but all over the places in japan especially in schools. Students would bow to their teacher (sensei) when he enters the room to show respect.
