The rise of the Japanese multinational enterprise: then and now

Author

Abstract

Japanese multinational enterprises (MNEs) have evolved since the1980s when they first came to prominence. The rise and degree of their success are not uniform stories and Japanese MNEs vary greatly by size, sector and administrative heritage. Their degree of integration with world capital markets is low and management styles and innovation systems are idiosyncratic. Pressures on Japanese MNEs to increase flexibility and openness have resulted in unusual hybrid structures.
