Research Abstract |
The purpose of the research is to clarify the problems in which a Japanese company with less experience in the power and energy industry builds and manages its strategic partnerships with local partners. We observed that apparently trivial conflicts among Chinese and Japanese workers often happened on the shop-floor. Those trivial conflicts negatively influence the performance of their international alliances even though the Japanese company overcame the well-recognized problems concerning cross-cultural communication. According to our case study analysis, we conclude that Japanese headquarter offices should change the recognition concerning their joint projects with Chinese firms and how to operate those projects.
