Abstract

This chapter examines foreign firms’ perceptions of market barriers related to the access, quality of inter-organizational institutions and their market commitment and performance in Japan. Findings suggest that foreign firms that perceive a higher level of macro-level institutional barrier are likely to have an unfavorable assessment of the accessibility of the Japanese distribution system. It was also found that firms with a favorable assessment of the accessibility of the Japanese distribution system are likely to develop better inter-organizational networks. Finally, the findings suggest that firms with a higher level of commitment to and performance in Japan are characterized by a favorable assessment of the accessibility of the Japanese distribution system and having better inter-organizational networks. However, years of experience in Japan or support of Sogo Shosha did not influence firms’ perceived institutional barriers.
