BOOK
Japanese Manufacturing Investment in Europe: Its Impact on the U.K. Economy (Routledge Series in International Business)
Roger Strange
$69.95

About this product:
Japanese Manufacturing Investment in Europe is a stimulating examination of the causes and consequences of the growing internationalization of Japanese business and Japan's increasing involvement in EC countries.

In the mid-1980s, a veritable surge of 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 reviews the current literature on FDI and trade policy and asserts the need for a theoretical framework in assessing the political economy of foreign direct investment.

BOOK
The Culture Wars: How American and Japanese Businesses have Outperformed Europe's and why the Future will be Different
J. Viney
$172.67

About this product:
"Through his job of placing the leading European men and women in their jobs, John Viney understands their motivation and capabilities and thus has a unique "insider's view" of our developing European business culture."
—Sir John Egan, Chief Executive, BAA plc

"This is a thoughtful provocative book on the critical business issues for Europe and what lies at the heart of Europe. It discusses whether in the 21st Century it can be competitive with the rest of the world. The answer in The Culture Wars is "yes" and what's more it tells us what needs to be done."
—Colin M. Sharman, Chairman, KPMG International

"In The Culture Wars John Viney tackles one of the most important issues of our time, how Europe can meet the global competitiveness challenge at a time when the world economy is being transformed by technology, communications and free trade. He rightly points out that Europe cannot win simply by trying to ape the Japanese, American or even the German model. If Europe is to win in the new millennium, it will need to develop its own unique and successful business culture. Me tooism will be insufficient."
—John Jay, Managing Editor, Business News and City Editor, The Sunday Times

"The Culture Wars puts the cause for Europe in a different light. It does not talk much about politics or monetary union but concentrates rather on hard-nosed business issues. Thus, this business book is both compelling and highly relevant."
—Cob Stenham, Chairman, Arjo Wiggins Appleton plc

BOOK
The End of Diversity?: Prospects for German and Japanese Capitalism (Cornell Studies in Political Economy)
$24.93

About this product:
After the devastation of World War II, Germany and Japan built national capitalist institutions that were remarkably successful in terms of national reconstruction and international competitiveness. Yet both "miracles" have since faltered, allowing U.S. capital and its institutional forms to establish global dominance. National varieties of capitalism are now under intense pressure to converge to the U.S. model. Kozo Yamamura and Wolfgang Streeck have gathered an international group of authors to examine the likelihood of convergence—to determine whether the global forces of Anglo-American capitalism will give rise to a single, homogeneous capitalist system. The chapters in this volume approach this question from five directions: international integration, technological innovation, labor relations and production systems, financial regimes and corporate governance, and domestic politics.

In their introduction, Yamamura and Streeck summarize the crises of performance and confidence that have beset German and Japanese capitalism and revived the question of competitive convergence. The editors ask whether the two countries, confronted with the political and economic exigencies of technological revolution and economic internationalization, must abandon their distinctive institutions and the competitive advantages these have yielded in the past, or whether they can adapt and retain such institutions, thereby preserving the social cohesion and economic competitiveness of their societies.
