Routledge - Evolution of Multinationals from Japan and Asia Pacific

Explore the historic shift in the global economy through this comprehensive study of multinational corporations. Starting in the 1980s, the rise of Japanese multinational companies (JMNCs) changed the structure of international business by bringing advanced products and management systems to Europe and North America. This book tracks the progression of non-Western businesses as they established a competitive global presence. The text provides a detailed look at how different nations have influenced the international landscape over the last three decades. It follows the trajectory of Korean firms in the 1990s and the subsequent rise of Chinese companies in the 2000s. By comparing international business models across Japan, Korea, China, and India, this work offers a deep understanding of the changing dynamics of the Asia Pacific region and its impact on the developed world.
