  • Japanese Manufacturing Affiliates in Europe and Turkey
    06-ORD 70H-002AA 7 Japanese Manufacturing Affiliates in Europe and Turkey - 2005 Survey - September 2006 Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Preface The survey on “Japanese manufacturing affiliates in Europe and Turkey” has been conducted 22 times since the first survey in 1983*. The latest survey, carried out from January 2006 to February 2006 targeting 16 countries in Western Europe, 8 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, and Turkey, focused on business trends and future prospects in each country, procurement of materials, production, sales, and management problems, effects of EU environmental regulations, etc. The survey revealed that as of the end of 2005 there were a total of 1,008 Japanese manufacturing affiliates operating in the surveyed region --- 818 in Western Europe, 174 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 16 in Turkey. Of this total, 291 affiliates --- 284 in Western Europe, 6 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 1 in Turkey --- also operate R & D or design centers. Also, the number of Japanese affiliates who operate only R & D or design centers in the surveyed region (no manufacturing operations) totaled 129 affiliates --- 125 in Western Europe and 4 in Central and Eastern Europe. In this survey we put emphasis on the effects of EU environmental regulations on Japanese manufacturing affiliates. We would like to express our great appreciation to the affiliates concerned for their kind cooperation, which have enabled us over the years to constantly improve the survey and report on the results. We hope that the affiliates and those who are interested in business development in Europe and/or Turkey will find this report useful.

  • Japanese Capital in Central Europe
    Hitotsubashi Journal of Economics 33 (1992) 149-168. C The Hitotsubashi Academy JAPANESE CAPITAL IN CENTRAL EUROPE GABOR BAKOS* Abstract From the 1 960's onward Japan's presence in Central Europe gradually increased. First foreign trade developed, then Japanese sogo shosha (general trading companies) established themselves, Japanese banks extended credits and, after the systemic changes in Central European countries of 1989, direct investments into the region showed a dra- matic increase. The real importance of Japanese investments is far greater than their statistical share owing to their modernizing effect. For Japanese business, Central Eu- rope is a strategic door to the huge markets of both the former Soviet Union and Western Europe. After recent privatization Central European countries have been seriously hoping for active Japanese participation but, due to their long decision-making processes, Japanese firms are being squeezed out by German and U.S, frms. I. The Process In this study, we will regard capital as it appears in three forms : commodities, finances and direct investments. In the literature generally only direct investments and partly finances are regarded. Nevertheless, the inclusion of commodities should not be neglected for two reasons. First, because trade flows also involve capital goods and secondly, developments in trading patterns allow for qualification of the cooperation between the partner countries. Japan's presence in Central Europe was rather insignificant before the 1970's and con- fined solely to foreign

The latest R35 GT-R, for the first time a stand-alone model, grew in size, complexity and ultimately speed. A mid-engined sports car from Honda was always going to be special, but the NSX went above and beyond. Honda managed to convince Ayrton Senna, who was at the time driving for McLaren Honda, to assess a late-stage prototype. Honda took what he said onboard, and when the NSX went on sale init was a hugely polished and capable machine.

  • Australia and Japan
    DRAFT Australia and Japan A New Economic Partnership in Asia A Report Prepared for Austrade by Peter Drysdale Crawford School of Economics and Government The Australian National University Tel +61 2 61255539 Fax +61 2 61250767 Email: [email protected] This report urges a paradigm shift in thinking about Australia’s economic relationship with Japan. The Japanese market is a market no longer confined to Japan itself. It is a huge international market generated by the activities of Japanese business and investors, especially via production networks in Asia. More than ever, Australian firms need to integrate more closely with these supply chains and networks in Asia. 1 Structure of the Report 1. Summary 3 2. Japan in Asia – Australia’s economic interest 5 3. Assets from the Australia-Japan relationship 9 4. Japan’s footprint in Asia 13 5. Opportunities for key sectors 22 6. Strategies for cooperation 32 Appendices 36 References 42 2 1. Summary Japan is the second largest economy in the world, measured in terms of current dollar purchasing power. It is Australia’s largest export market and, while it is a mature market with a slow rate of growth, the absolute size of the Japanese market is huge. These are common refrains in discussion of the Australia-Japan partnership over the last two decades or so. They make an important point. But they miss the main point about what has happened to Japan’s place in the world and its role in our region and what those changes mean for effective Australian engagement with the Japanese economy.

ISSN 0385-3446. 1 2 JAPANESE BUSINESS IN AUSTRALIA: A MANAGEMENT SURVEY OF INDUSTRY INTERACTION WITH LOCATIONAL FACTORS Celal Bayari Nagoya University. Graduate School of International Development Abstract This is a discussion of research findings on the interaction of the Japanese firms with Australia’s locational factors that affect their investment decisions in Australia. The paper argues that there is a convergence as well as divergence among the sixty-five companies from three industrial sectors on ten different factors affecting satisfaction that is reported by the management and the other variables that characterise the firms.1 Japan-Australia relations: Introduction Japan has always captured the imagination of Australian business leaders and politicians (Stockwin 1972, Meaney 1988) and economic planners (Japan Secretariat 1984) in the post-war era. In the Japanese media the image of Australia is one of a tourist location and raw materials supplier that buys cars and electronics goods from Japan (The Japan Times 2001: 15). Australian exports to Japan add up to 380,000 jobs, AUS $1,300 for every Australian, and 4% of the GDP (Vaile 2001).
