Japanese Overseas Enterprises in Developing Countries Under Indigenization Policy - the African Case

Katsu Yanaihara

Japanese Economy, 1975, vol. 4, issue 1, 23-51

Abstract: I am concerned with the contemporary problems faced by Japanese overseas enterprises in developing countries in connection with their indigenization policy. In particular, I am interested in this paper in Africa, where indigenization policy can be referred to as Africanization. However, this paper does not cover all Japanese overseas enterprises in Africa, but is a study of eleven firms that I conducted toward the end of 1973. (1) The eleven firms are geographically distributed as follows: three in Kenya, four in Nigeria, and four in Ethiopia. Therefore, this paper is a report of my case studies of certain Japanese overseas enterprises in certain African countries. Table 1 classifies the eleven firms by industry type. Note that "foreign" in this table often refers to Japan.
