Synopses & Reviews
Mourdoukoutas New Emerging Japanese Economy documents the rise of the old Japan economy, identifies the reasons and their domestic and international effects, then charts Japan's rapid decline, and the effects that this largely unexpected event had on the conduct of business globally. But now the signs point to Japan's economic recovery - and the importance of this cannot be overestimated. Not only will it provide benefits to the Japanese people, these same benefits will extend to Japan's trading partners worldwide. The result will be new opportunities, but new challenges as well for unwary foreign management. Mourdoukoutas analyzes the Japanese economy, from rise to fall to rise again, and relates his findings, analyses, and interpretations directly to the conduct of world trade, not only between Japan and the U.S. but with other partners as well. In doing so he makes it possible for corporate management at the highest levels to determine for itself what its strategic response should be - how to select, create, and sell innovative goods and services, and how to design new business methods to maximize gains and guard against losses. The result is a rigorously pragmatic, readable guide for international business people in various capacities and at the highest corporate levels, as well as a challenging, provocative analysis for individuals interested in business management and world trade.
Synopsis
Historically one of the most closed economies in the developed world, Japan ? still reigning as the third largest national economy ? has undergone a major cultural shift, resulting in a new economy where competition and deregulation are king. As Japan regains footing as a world economic power, companies that want to cash in on its emerging opportunities must first understand them. In his newest book, widely respected economist and experienced sinologist Panos Mourdoukoutas offers invaluable insight into the rise of the old Japanese economy and its domestic and international effects, the subsequent rapid decline and its toll, as well as the current economic outlook. As signs point to Japan?s economic recovery, this book emphasizes the importance of it. Explaining how recovery will benefit the Japanese people and Japan?s trading partners worldwide, it fully explores the new opportunities and challenges for management.
