Japanese Multinationals in the Global Economy

Comprises selected data presented in tabular form from the Toyo Keizai database, and comparison data from the more widely used Harvard Multinational Enterprise database. Includes data on employment levels, expatriate management, ownership patterns, and joint venture ownership structures, including new data on the performance of Japanese subsidiaries illustrating important recent trends. The goal is to encourage researchers to explore the Toyo Keizai database in order to expand and shape their studies on multinationals. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
