Outline of Final Research Achievements

For Japanese firms, it is critical to manage speed and local business practices without losing their strengths developed in Japanese and western markets. Yet, not many Japanese firms are able to balance the two competing demands well. As a result, their potential in terms of great products and advance technologies are not fully realized in the Asian markets. Moreover, it is found that many Japanese managers are not committed to those problems sincerely. Instead, they attribute the poor performance to local uncertainties and immaturity. In this sense, it is fair to say that the headquarters is the least globalized division, which suggests that we have to explore this issue even deeper and more thoroughly.
