Management of overseas expansion by Japanese companies

Manufacturing and strategic alliances in China

Abstract

Companies are required to develop sustainably and it is important to make various innovations not only in Japan but also overseas. Considering the expansion of multinational corporations overseas, SMEs are considered to be disadvantageous compared to large companies, because of their low management resources, knowledge and experience. In this research, I will examine the kind of management by Japanese SMEs in China from the viewpoint of P2M.
