‘This book belongs on the bookshelf of every serious scholar interested in the topic of FDI in Japan.’
– Raj Aggarwal, International Trade Journal

‘It is certain that researchers and practitioners of the subject will find this book valuable. One of the most important contributions of this book is in establishing links between various approaches – macroeconomics, multinational management and business strategy – often using radically different languages, to extend our understanding of the low level of FDI inflows to Japan.’
– Lucia Piscitello, Transnational Corporations

Foreign Direct Investment in Japan is the first serious and comprehensive examination of why the direct participation of foreign firms in the economy of Japan is lower than in any other advanced industrial nation. An internationally acclaimed group of scholars and practitioners addresses this problem and considers what policy actions, if any, the Japanese government can take to increase direct investment.

Contents: Introduction Part I: How Can Theories of Foreign Direct Investment Shed Light on the Small Size of FDI into Japan? Part II: How Do Japan’s Distinctive Business Practices and Trade Structure Affect FDI into Japan? Part III: What are the Actual Experiences of Foreign Multinational Companies in Japan? Conclusions Contributors: W. Attridge, J.H. Dunning, E.M. Graham, T.F. Jordan, L.R. Klein, S. Kobrin, B. Kogut, M. Mason, R. Neumann, H.V. Perlmutter, G. Saxonhouse, R. Wakasugi, D. Weinstein, M.
