American Enterprise in Japan by Tomoko Hamada
Highlighting the interdependence between corporate culture and broader societal culture, Hamada looks closely at interactions between American and Japanese businessmen, analyzes their cultural differences, and proposes that these differences can be viewed not just as a source of continuing conflict but of dynamic cooperation."This is the first study dealing with the experience of an American firm in JapanIt makes an important contribution to our understanding of both American and Japanese firms. As a professional anthropologist and skilled fieldworker, Hamada understands the relationships between field data and social meaning. Her experience as a professional interpreter and translator provides analytic skills and tools which are very rare in studies of Japanese business and American business in Japan." — Bernard Karsh, Director, Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies, University of Illinois
"The case itself is fascinating, and Hamada speaks authoritatively and convincingly from personal experience and careful research about joint ventures, a subject that has not been described or analyzed but which is of considerable practical and theoretical significance." — William Kelly, Center for International and Area Studies, Yale University
Tomoko Hamada is Chair of the East Asian Studies Program and Associate Professor of Anthropology at the College of William and Mary.
