In the
article “Asians balk at Japanese corporate culture” published in The Christian
Science Monitor, author Edith
Terry talks about how Japanese are being cooped buy the locals business. The
United States concerns are that japan might lock out the networks in Southeast
Asia. Which is where a lot of high levels of Japanese investments It said it
might “Japanize” the region. Japanese are having more labor trouble then china.
Japanese and the Chinese think the same way about business. A lot of the successful Japanese ventures in
China are managed by companies in Hong Kong. Stickily they say that Japanese’s
companies see China as Asia’s the most on top market and it is the large pool
of cheap labor. In the year of 1994 Japanese investment in China 63% in only 6
months from April to September to make $1.14 Billion dollars. It exceeded in
the investment in Britain and equaled one third of all Japanese Investment in
the same period for Asia.
ArticleWhen I first read this I thought it was hard to read and understand since it had a bunch of Japanese people trying to tell the story. So I got played the listen button and it made it easier to understand what they were talking about. What I thought was interesting was they worked with china and other countries. I’m guessing that’s why on most of our product says made in China. I do realize that companies buy the item cheap so when they fix anything up and sell it for more to make profit too. I didn’t think this article was bad it was just alright. Let me know how you feel about this article, leave a comment!
I agree with the article and you're statement on how most of our products say made in China. China and other countries can make products for cheap and pay their workers less then what the average American would get paid to do it. Also they have way more people then us, so that means more production is getting done. It's funny how a Toyota Pruis is a lot cheaper then a Ford Fusion.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your summary and response to the article, I really thought Japan investing in China was really interesting. Do you think in today's age it would be better to invest in Japan or China? Another question I have is what do you think about Japans labor policy on their employees compared to China's policy? I personally think the only way to find out the differences between China's labor policy and Japans labor policy is to experience it yourself. What do you think?
