      Robert March, author of The Japanese Negotiator, critically examines the Japanese multinational company from the viewpoint of its non-Japanese employees in the U.S., Japan, and abroad. As Japanese investment overseas grows, concerns about the employment practices of some Japanese firms also rise. March explores the experiences of foreign employees to highlight how differing Japanese concepts of management, corporate culture, workplace harmony, communication, employment conditions, decision-making power, and manager-subordinate relationships can create significant workplace challenges. These differences often lead to polarization between Japanese and non-Japanese staff. Utilizing insights from foreign employees in Japan, the U.S., the U.K., Australia, and Asia, March reveals how Japanese companies manage their foreign workforce and uncovers the roots of tension, misunderstanding, and frustration within these multinational environments. Drawing on his extensive experience working with Japanese firms, he presents a comprehensive study of what it is like to work for them, serving as a guide to evaluating Japanese companies as employers. His effective use of verbatim interviews, combined with a cultural anthropologist's interpretive approach, offers fresh perspectives on Japanese corporate behavior. This essential work challenges stereotypes and provides valuable insights into the dynamics of multinational business today.
