Japanese joint ventures in the USA
Article Abstract:
A survey of 21 joint venture executives conducted by Tyzoon Tyebjee of Santa Clara University's business school examined the factors that influence the initiation of US joint ventures by Japanese companies. Results indicate that joint ventures take place because of circumstances that fall into one of four categories: adoption which occurs when a US company needs capital; rebirths which are joint ventures based on rebuilding a dying businesses procreation which involves two parent companies creating a new company; and family ties which develop from mutually beneficial business relationships.

The pattern of Japanese multinational investment
Article Abstract:
Japan has increasingly been internationalizing its manufacturing by setting up offshore production operations. Many of the offshore operations are in labor intensive rather technology intensive industries. Japan has been setting up a major portion of these operations in developing nations where there is a relative price break in labor and raw materials. Even with Japan now investing in industrialized nations, they will remain a serious competitor for Western industry.
