Book Synopsis Control And Coordination Of Subsidiaries In Japanese Corporate Groups by : Akira Mitsumasu
Download or read book Control And Coordination Of Subsidiaries In Japanese Corporate Groups written by Akira Mitsumasu and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to bridge academic knowledge and practitioner's knowledge regarding the control and coordination of subsidiaries in Japan. It specifically explores two questions: why do corporations establish subsidiaries and form corporate groups? How do corporate groups manage their subsidiaries? Based on the case studies presented in the book, the author identifies four different types of parent-subsidiary relationships and uses this typology to understand control and coordination issues within Japanese organizations.The chapters in the book are designed to cover many characteristics of large Japanese corporate groups. Chapter 2 gives the definition of corporate group in Japan and distinguishes it from the keiretsu business group, while Chapter 3 provides a backdrop and context for understanding the corporate landscape in which Japanese firms today operate. Chapters 4 and 5 provide a literature review on some of the major literatures that are related to the research questions concerning why corporate groups exist and how they are managed. Chapter 6 attempts to bridge academic knowledge with practitioners knowledge by looking at five corporate groups: Hitachi, Panasonic, Mitsubishi Heavy Industry, Nihon Yusen and Japan Airlines, and by identifying areas where practitioner's knowledge could be used to expand existing theories. Chapter 7 proposes a four-part classification of subsidiaries to facilitate the discussion of different issues that arise under different parent-subsidiary settings. Chapter 8 attempts to illustrate a simplistic roadmap for creating successful subsidiary management, while Chapter 9 concludes the book.Written in a simple and accessible manner, this book will be of interest to business practitioners, decision makers in organizations and academics alike.
Book Synopsis International Business in China by : Robert Taylor
Download or read book International Business in China written by Robert Taylor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with a number of contentious issues in Chinese management as China emerges as a global economic player, with a greater role in international business during a global economic crisis. This step is in tandem with an economically driven foreign policy. Since the 1980s, Chinese management while still in transition, has benefited from an infusion of capital, technology and managerial expertise through inward direct investment via joint and wholly-owned foreign ventures. As the so-called 'workshop of the world', China and its exports, especially labour-intensive goods, face protectionism in the United States and the European Union. To circumvent these barriers, the Chinese leaders are emphasising domestic consumption, itself dependent on rising personal income levels and an improved national social insurance system, and a move to high-tech products, themselves requiring indigenous innovation. The creation of a knowledge economy, in addition to outward investment in manufacturing, could lead to a distinctive independent style of Chinese management. Simultaneously, China’s participation in intra-regional trade underlines the nation’s role in Asian regional business networks. Such developments in turn present a challenge to Western and global business. This book was published as a special issue of Asia Pacific Business Review.

Download or read book Focus China written by René Haak and published by IUDICIUM Verlag. This book was released on 2003 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the dynamic growth of its economy over the last 20 years, China still has a long way to go to catch up with Japan. In commercial and technological terms, Japan is still the dominant economy in East Asia and is still the leading source of product, production and management innovations in the region, especially in the automotive and electronic industries. However, China is closing the gap year by year. The development of bilateral foreign trade, the increase of Japanese FDI and ODA towards China, and intensified financial and technical co-operation illustrate the considerable potential for mutually profitable business. The Chinese market is opening up and Chinese products are increasingly gaining competitiveness in world markets, threatening the incumbent Japanese firms. Japanese and Chinese companies face each other across a changing competitive environment, which is posing new challenges to corporate and business strategies. Within the context of these developments this book looks from different perspectives at how Japanese companies are reacting to the challenges and opportunities offered by China.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled Make a Company Localized or Personalized: A Case Study of a Japanese Electric Subsidiary in Shanghai submitted by Zhang Shu for the degree of Master of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in April 2005 As the Chinese market grows, management localization is becoming a high priority among Japanese subsidiaries in China. However, there have not been any in- depth studies that look at the effects that management localization may bring to a Japanese company, or how Chinese managers use the authority with which they are empowered in a localization process. Based on participant observation and in-depth interviews, this study explores the formulation and the consequences of the localization strategy which is employed in a Japanese electronic sales subsidiary in Shanghai. Through the examination of human resource management and the power and position of Chinese staff in the company (Chapters 3 & 4), my research finds that local talents have generally been promoted to second-tier management positions. Ms. Zhu is the most powerful local manager I have observed. As the Deputy General Manager of the Administration and Finance Department, she not only controls the key issues of human resources, accounting, IT and logistics, but also enjoys more authority and control over local employees than do her top Japanese managers in the office. However, when further exploring the respective motivations of Japanese Expatriates (JE), Overseas Chinese Expatriates (OCE) and Local Managers (LM) regarding the localization issue (Chapters 5 & 6), my investigation reveals that JEs' preference of localization is relative to their interests in career development and ambition to succeed in the Chinese market. The OCEs are represented in my research by Mr. Ishii, a Shanghai-born Chinese who joined the company in Tokyo and acquired Japan nationality in his 30s. Owing to his dual identity of being both the expatriate Vice-President and a Shanghai native, he became a key person in starting and conducting the localization program of the company. However, during the localization process, he also acquired experience and built a network so that he would be able to start a company providing IT and consulting services for the Japanese subsidiary after he quit his job there. In other words, the practice of localization was a kind of preparation for his private business in Shanghai. When Ms. Zhu was promoted by Mr. Ishii, she utilized her powerful position to acquire personal financial gain by, for example, giving company contracts to her friends. The localization process provided chances for Ishii and Zhu to gain more power in the company, especially with regard to the management of local staff and their authority in choosing local service partners, which made their Chinese subordinates claim that the company had become Ishii and Zhu's personal property. In this sense, the company was also personalized in the localization process. To sum up, this case study sheds lights on the dynamic and diversified nature of localization. It shows the process of localization is not merely a position transfer from expatriates to local talents but involves power struggles among various interest groups. My study suggests that a localization strategy could make companies vulnerable to personalization by local manag
Book Synopsis Japanese Bosses, Chinese Workers by : Heung Wah Wong
Download or read book Japanese Bosses, Chinese Workers written by Heung Wah Wong and published by . This book was released on 1999-10 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, the result of two years of fieldwork in the Hong Kong subsidiary of a Japanese supermarket, is a cross-cultural study within Asia by an Asian anthropologist. This intra-Asian perspective makes the author less susceptible to the exoticizing of Japanese society or Japanese forms of social organization as uniquely unique because, for him, much of it is familiar. In fact, rather than large generalizations about the cultural bases of the success of Japanese companies, attention is drawn to the micro structures of power and resistance within these companies, as revealed by his fieldwork. Japanese Bosses, Chinese Workers examines the ways of organizing work, rank, compensation, and promotion inside the company to reveal the socio-economic base of managerial control. By exploring how the categorical difference between Japanese expatriates and Hong Kong Chinese staff is produced, the hidden aspect of the control by a monopoly of identity formation is made visible. The book also demonstrates how Japanese and Chinese employees adopt different orientations towards the company’s authority and towards one another. It is the structure of these different strategies, orientations, and social relations between people that gives rise to the pattern of social life within the company.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume first considers the economic background of the recent changes in HRM in the People's Republic of China from 1978 to the present day, exploring the change from a command economy to a more market-led one. It then goes on to look at the demise of so-called 'iron rice bowl' policy once dominated by a Soviet-inspired Personnel Management model to one now characterized by possibly Japanese, as well as Western-influenced HRM, albeit with what are widely described as 'Chinese characteristics'. Finally, it concludes with a comparative analysis of the contributions in the book on China vis-a-vis an appraisal of these with the national HRM systems of Japan and South Korea. This volume was previously published as a special issue of the International Journal of Human Resource Management.

Book Synopsis Expatriates in Japanese Firms by : Chie Yorozu
Download or read book Expatriates in Japanese Firms written by Chie Yorozu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-04-21 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the experiences of foreign employees working in Japanese firms, this book identifies the trends and realities facing both expatriates and firms in the current landscape of the Japanese labour market. By utilising interview data from both expatriates and Japanese HR staff, this study identifies the fact that self-initiated expatriates often do not remain in Japanese firms for long and highlights the main factors that influence their decisions to leave; including difficulty adjusting to Japan’s lifetime employment system, seniority-based pay, and the prevalence of unpaid overtime. The book reveals that whilst Japanese firms are adjusting to improve the retention of foreign employees, there remains a clear expectation gap between the two sides. Moreover, it outlines further potential adjustments that could be implemented to reduce the turnover rate of expatriates and create a more harmonious workplace both for expatriates and for local employees. This is an urgent challenge for Japan as it faces labour shortages. Featuring an in-depth exploration of first-hand experiences from direct testimonies of expatriates in Japanese firms, this book will be a valuable resource for academics and students of Japanese studies, human resource management, and organisation studies.
