Product Description
Japanese Manufacturing Investment in Europe is a provocative examination of the causes and consequences of the growing internationalization of Japanese business and Japan’s increasing involvement in the economies of EC countries.
When in the mid-1980s, a surge in foreign direct investment (FDI) among the five great powers took place, Japanese manufacturing investment in Europe occupied the forefront of this unprecedented growth and involved an even wider range of industries than before. This volume provides twenty-seven detailed case studies of Japanese companies in order to demonstrate the diversity of adopted strategies. Roger Strange also reviews the current literature on FDI and trade policy and argues for a new theoretical framework in the assessment of foreign direct investment.
