The globalization of the world economy today means that more and
more people are experiencing working in another culture. Focusing
on the real experiences of workers in Japanese transnational
finance companies, this book not only throws light on this specific
case, but at the same time raises timely questions and insights
concerning the newly emerging multicultural work experiences
world-wide. The Clash of Economic Cultures: Japanese Bankers in the
City of London reflects on contemporary discussions in sociology,
anthropology and cultural studies of individual global movement and
cultural interaction. While there are some studies on Japanese
multinational companies in Europe, they have typically assumed
stereotyped differences in management systems and work cultures.
This book, however, breaks the mold by looking at the culture and
individuals' subjective views about their working lives and also
their own worldviews; this perspective illuminates the difficulties
in working relationships between Japanese and Europeans. Junko
Sakai reveals, through 100 transcribed interviews, the influence of
power relationships on people of different groups in terms of
gender, class, and ethnicity. The Clash of Economic Cultures shows
uneven transformation of economic and cultural hegemony between
East and West. This book gives voice to Japanese men and women
whose voices are rarely heard, and to the British who have worked
for non-Westerners in the West. It is also a significant and timely
analysis of the increasing influence of non-Western companies in
London. It will be of great interest to cultural anthropologists,
business historians, sociologists and scholars in Japanese and
Asian studies, as well as those involved in international finance
and management.
