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.

This groundbreaking text provides both theory and strategy for operating in a semiglobal economy in which international businesses must compete in highly globalized and highly localized markets at the same time. Unlike the traditional transnational and matrix corporate models, a semiglobal corporation organizes its operations according to the global/local content of its value propositions rather than according to geographical regions, products, or contribution to the parent company's performance. As an example of a semiglobal corporation, the Honda Motor Company has a global vision when it comes to highly global bundles like car engines, and a local vision when it comes to highly localized car financing and servicing. Designed as a supplementary text for courses in international business, development economics, marketing, and strategic planning, "Business Strategy in a Semiglobal Economy" raises important challenges to the conventional models of business organization and the competitive strategies that proceed from them.

Shintaro Fuji, the Director of the European Division of the legendary Japanese Ministry of Trade and Industry, had a vision: to prove to the world that the Japanese economic and social system could be transplanted to other countries.Alex Papas, a young Greek economist and politician, and an admirer of the Japanese system, working for the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, had a vision, too: to modernize his country and place it next to developed countries.With the help of Yoko Temura, a beautiful Japanese woman, Papas is recruited by Fuji to perform an experiment: turn Greece into a little Japan.When Papas' party wins the election a few months later, Fuji's experiment is underway. Greek institutions are modeled after those of Japan, and factories, banks and hotels are sold off to Japanese investors.
