Book excerpt: Small Town, Giant Corporation traces the maturation of the profession of economic development as applied to Japanese manufacturing investment in the United States. The book is a case study of the wooing and eventual location of a Japan-based global auto parts producer in a small Midwestern community. The study considers motivations for Japanese investment, location patterns, and the adaptation of Japanese-owned companies to U.S. communities and business conditions. Economic development experts and other observers will find that the story of the successful interface between a global giant from Japan and a small Midwestern community forms an education case study of drawing and managing foreign investment.

Book excerpt: Examines the sociological causes for differences in small business formation and other personal finance trends among Chinese and Japanese immigrant communities and African-Americans in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Incorporating both a broad overview of the experience of these minority groups in the face of discriminatory practices with an examination of historical data, the authors review the role played by special consumer demands, informal credit facilities and formal banking operations, and features of immigrant and African-American social organizations on rates of small business ownership, representation in professions, and insurance subscription. The unique consumer demands of immigrant communities, demands that were not shared by the native African-American community, is held to explain some of the increased rates of business ownership by Asian immigrants in light of their pre-existing understanding of that consumer demand. Nevertheless, the author notes that roles of traditional Asian forms of business organization had been overlooked and these modes of organization also help explain the higher rates of ownership. Similarly, traditional credit practices, in particular, the Chinese hui, the Japanese ko or tanomoshi, and the West African esusu, are investigated. These credit arrangements aided disfavored minority groups in obtaining credit for business operations that were otherwise unavailable to them in the formal capital markets. The socioeconomic circumstances of African slaves in the Caribbean is contrasted with that in North America to trace the disappearance of the esusu among African-Americans. The salubrious effect of informal credit facilities is further supported by an examination of the successes of Afro-Caribbean immigrants who retained the esusu in their cultural repertoire. Minority-operated banks met with less success and diminished investment opportunities is determined to be a significant cause of the problem. The latter half of the book affords an extensive treatment of the historical facts of minority social and religious organizations and the sociological theories that may explain the variety of forms those organizations took. The effect that these organizations had on trends regarding mutual aid, recourse to public assistance, and insurance purchases is an additional focus. (CAR).

Download or read book Japan in the Bluegrass written by Pradyumna P. Karan and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-11-21 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen years after Toyota announced it would build a manufacturing plant in the heart of the Bluegrass, Kentucky crafts are being used to help sell Camrys at car dealerships in Japan and sushi and Japanese condiments are widely stocked on grocery shelves in a number of cities across Kentucky. In early 2000, the state boasted more than 100 Japanese companies representing a total investment of more than seven billion dollars, employing more than 33,000 Kentuckians. Japan in the Bluegrass is the first book to focus on the regional and local impact of the globalization of Japanese businesses, particularly Toyota, in the United States. Fourteen American and Japanese contributors include geographers, political scientists, sociologists, and an economist, urban planner, and environmental scientist, and their essays go beyond the traditional exploration of politics and economics to examine the social, cultural, and environmental effects of Japanese investment in Kentucky. The authors examine the factors that brought these companies to this part of the United States, which range from a well-developed system of highways to cooperation from state and local governments to hefty incentive packages. They discuss the significant influence of Toyota and its suppliers on local communities in Kentucky as well as in Toyota City, Japan. Essays also cover the social and cultural shifts that have resulted from Japanese investment, including educational activities in public schools, the relationship between business and local media, and the integration of Japanese managers and their families into Kentucky communities.

Download or read book Japanese Manufacturing Investment in Europe written by Roger Strange and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japanese manufacturing investment in the European Community has grown dramatically over the last twenty years. At first, instances of investment were few, concentrated in a small number of industrial sectors. But since the mid-1980's there has been a surge of investment in a much wider range of industries. This volume details the growth of Japanese manufacturing investment in Europe in fourteen industrial sectors. The impact of Japanese competition and direct investment on European industries is considered in the context of the emergence of the three major trading blocs: the United States, Japan and the EC. Roger Strange concludes by making important policy recommendations, and arguing for the need for a new theoretical framework for assessing the political economy of foreign direct investment.
