Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this paper is to provide a ‘Japanese perception’ of European enterprises. This is a very general theme that encompasses all the points of the argument in the entire book; thus, it is not possible to provide an empirical examination. Instead, this paper will explore the answers to the following four questions: (1) Is the ‘European company’ visible in Japan? (2) If not, why? Is Europe’s extreme diversity a reason for this lack of visibility? (3) What kinds of implications arise from the activities of Japanese subsidiaries in Europe? (4) Is it possible to extract a Europe-wide commonality by considering the historical interaction between the geographical environment and the competitiveness of enterprises?
