Chapter 13 in Hybrid Factories in Latin America, 2013, pp 193-200 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter outlines the case of Toshiba in Brazil and how the Japanese production system was received by the local people. Although Toshiba owns 40 percent of the capital of this factory (Semp Toshiba Amazonas SA), no Japanese expatriates have worked in the company, and all transplants of the Toshiba production management are executed completely by the local Brazilians. It is really an interesting factory.
