This book presents the findings of the Japanese Multinational Enterprise Study Group concerning the worldwide transfer of Japanese Management and Production systems. Over a twenty year period, research has concentrated on the conditions surrounding technology transfer from Japanese automobile and electronics companies to their subsidiaries and affiliated plants in North and South America, East Asia, Europe, China, and Central and Eastern Europe. The book presents the ''hybrid evaluation method'' as a means of measuring the degree of application and adaptation of the Japanese parent systems at the local subsidiary plants. The book proposes that this evaluation method is an international model for the assessment of the transferability of the management and production system of any multinational enterprise.
