Summary
In the 1980s and even some part of the 1990s, perceived and real differences between the Japanese socio-cultural, institutional, and economic environment and that of the countries experiencing a wave of Japanese foreign direct investment (FDI) led to a plethora of academic research (Carrillo and Abo 2014). The principal focus was to identify the different set of core competences of competitive Japanese companies, especially Toyota, transferred in foreign countries. What finally emerged from some of the most notable research efforts was to clarify the necessity of applying and adapting the Japanese-style business practices to the managerial conditions in host countries (Kenny and Florida 1993; Abo 1994; Itagaki 1997; Babson 1998; among others).
