| Title | Conflict and change : foreign ownership and the Japanese firm / George Olcott. Conflict & Change |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xi, 279 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Contents | Japanese institutions : are they different? -- The study : overview and methodology -- Entering the firm : recruitment and training -- Lifetime employment and career patterns -- Reward systems -- Female employees -- Organisation and decision-making process -- Discussion and conclusion. |
| Summary | What happens to the traditional work practices of Japanese firms when they are taken over by European and American firms? How do the employees react? What lessons can be learned from examples of successful and unsuccessful acquisitions? Formerly, such questions would never have been asked, simply because the incidence of take-overs of Japanese firms by foreign companies was virtually non-existent. However, in past years, a number of major Japanese companies have come under the control of foreign firms. Conflict and Change focuses on five Japanese companies acquired by foreign firms (including Nissan, Chugai Pharmaceutical and Shinsei Bank) to show how take-overs by foreign companies have changed HR and organisational practices traditionally associated with Japanese firms. This provides invaluable information for researchers and managers about the choices and challenges associated with cross-border acquisitions of firms that are embedded in 'institutionally distant' frameworks. |
