Japanese Multinationals in the Global Economy goes beyond
traditional methods of research in international business by
providing new simple data comparisons on the global operations of
Japanese firms. A key aim of this book is to encourage other
researchers to explore a new data source and expand and shape their
own studies on multinationals. This book will be a significant
addition to the debate on the behaviour of multinational firms
because it avoids the problems and restrictions involved using
national government data and individual case studies. The book
presents key information based on the most extensive samples of
multinationals at the subsidiary level using both cross sectional
data and data over time. The authors provide a direct comparison of
US subsidiaries, using the established Harvard Multinational
Enterprise database, and Japanese subsidiaries, using the much less
well-known Toyo Keizai annual data. Key features include: * a
summary description of the Toyo Keizai database * comparisons of
Japanese and US multinationals based on the dates the subsidiaries
entered the parent's system, annual sales levels and the equity
level of the subsidiary * the data includes employment levels,
expatriate management, ownership patterns and joint venture
ownership structures * new data on the performance of Japanese
subsidiaries is measured using several dimensions and illustrates
important recent trends After each data set the authors briefly
discuss the information available pointing the way for new research
and more in-depth analysis. This book will be a vital source for
international business researchers and corporate managers as well
as government agencies and international organizations concerned
with multinational enterprises, trade theory and business strategy,
international economics, organizational behaviour and business
history.
