商品描述

The purpose of this book is to highlight how current successful Japanese multinational enterprises (MNEs) and companies have changed their business or business models in the past three decades. Japanese MNEs received a lot of attention from academia and industry during the 1980s and the early 1990s, and their factors for success have been compared with those of Western MNEs. Unfortunately, following the collapse of the "bubble economy" in the early 1990s, international business researchers and practitioners' attention has turned away from Japan and its MNEs to emerging markets, notably the rapidly growing China.

Japanese MNEs have faced the mature domestic economy and also have had to overcome many new challenges in the twenty-first century, such as rapid aging, depopulation, and response to new technologies. Japanese MNEs and companies today are being forced to respond to new business environments never seen in the past. The prerequisites for business activities have significantly changed from those of former Japanese companies and their management practices. Even in such a difficult situation, however, many Japanese MNEs and emerging companies have achieved steady growth and have succeeded by changing their business models.

This book provides the reader with new directions for research and lessons by analyzing the challenges of Japanese multinational enterprises and emerging companies. The redirection of attention is expected to have a positive impact on the field of international business study and practice.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書的目的是突顯過去三十年來,日本跨國企業(MNEs)和公司如何改變其業務或業務模式。在1980年代和90年代初,日本的MNEs受到學術界和工業界的廣泛關注,並將其成功因素與西方MNEs進行比較。不幸的是,在90年代初的「泡沫經濟」崩潰後,國際商務研究人員和從業人員的注意力轉向新興市場,尤其是快速增長的中國。

日本的MNEs面臨成熟的國內經濟,並且必須克服21世紀許多新挑戰,如快速老化、人口減少和應對新技術。如今,日本的MNEs和公司被迫應對過去從未見過的新業務環境。商業活動的前提條件與以前的日本公司及其管理實踐有了顯著變化。然而,在這樣困難的情況下,許多日本的MNEs和新興公司通過改變其業務模式實現了穩定增長並取得了成功。

本書通過分析日本跨國企業和新興公司所面臨的挑戰,為讀者提供了研究的新方向和教訓。對國際商務研究和實踐領域的關注重新定向有望對其產生積極影響。
