Working for the Japanese

the economic and social consequences of Japanese investment in Wales

Edición de la obra Working for the Japanese

"Wales has one of the highest concentrations of Japanese manufacturing investment Europe with the recent arrival of a Toyota engine plant at Deeside and a Sony television plant at Pencoed. It provides an ideal case for examining the economic and social impact of this new investment, which is often perceived as being very different from existing foreign investment." "This study evaluates these questions, looking at the attraction of Japanese capital to Wales, its impact on the Welsh economy, upon employment, management practice, industrial relations, the community, and upon the Japanese themselves. Finally there is a consideration of the future prospects for Japanese investment in Wales and its likely effects."--Jacket.
