JAPANESE KEIRETSU:
Keiretsu is a Japanese term which is nothing but a Group or it can also
be interpreted as alliance or partnership. The Japanese use an economic system
which is known as Keiretsu to organize the corporation into one cohesive
structure that is nothing but a group of companies are linked together through
sharing business, cross-shareholding and having mutual values and interests.
Keiretsu is nothing but Spider Web Strategy.
Classification of keiretsu:
(a) Zaibatsu (loosely related and strongly diversified, for instance Mitsubishi),
(b) Single production keiretsu based on a strong leading corporation, for instance
Hitachi,
(c) So called spin-off keiretsu formed as a result of the most innovative parts of
the core company becoming self-dependent, for instance Matsushita,
(d) Regional keiretsu formed by regional subsidiaries becoming self-dependent,
for instance NEC,
(e) Person-oriented keiretsu, networks of companies created by charismatic
owners, for instance Seibu, Softbank.

6. WORLD IS NOT FLAT:
No, Automobile industry is not the regional industry but rather all the
industries act as such, the 500 largest companies in the world accounted for over
$14 trillion of total sales (revenues) in fiscal year 2001. The average revenues for
a firm in the top 500 were $28 billion, ranging from Wal-Mart at $220 billion to
Takenaka at $10 billion. In this study of the intra-regional sales of these 500
firms, a total of 380 were included with available geographic segment data. These
380 firms account for 79.2% of the total revenues of all the 500 firms. The
average sales volume of a firm in the set of 380 is $29.2 billion. Across these 380
large firms the average intra-regional sales represent 71.9%. A relative sales
dominance in a specific regional market, rather than a very wide and evenly
distributed spread of sales, reflects five underlying issues critical to the MNEs
functioning.
Firstly, many number of MNEs are not world- wide but fixed to only a specific
region. This means that the firms products are not really equally accessible
and/or attractive to consumers all around the world, in spite of many MNEs
attempting to adapt their products to local demand.

The second deals with the lack of success in the worldwide markets, although
based on aggregate company-level data, could be interpreted as a reflection of the
limits to the non-location-bound nature of the MNEs knowledge base that is,
their firm-specific advantages (FSAs). Firms may have sophisticated and
proprietary technological knowledge, brand names, etc., but there may be severe
limits to the joint international transferability of this knowledge, and its
acceptance by customers across regions. These limits may exist irrespective of
whether the knowledge is embodied in final products and then exported,
transferred as an intermediate product through licensing, or utilized in foreign
affiliates through FDI.
The next issue is that the MNEs dint perform well across globe will show the
ability to leverage the critical location-bound FSAs.
Coming to the fourth critical issue, as the MNEs market share is totally different
at various locations so this calls for different strategies to compete
The above given four issues have very crucial importance when it comes to
Multinational Enterprises corporate governance. We cannot say governance is
the only problem and the presence of multiple environmental circumstances mayalso be critical here. However, the need for regional strategies does suggest the
parallel introduction of a regional component in the MNEs governance structure
to deal appropriately with the distinctive characteristics of each leg of the triad,
and with the regions outside it, much in line with Ohmaes (1985) prescriptions.
This need for distinct regional strategies should be viewed as a complement to the
well-known normative models that advocate simple globalization strategies as a
set of purposive decisions and actions instrumental to a broad and deep
penetration of foreign markets (Govindarajan and Gupta, 2001; Jeannet, 2000;
Yip, 2002). Regionalization should be viewed as an expression of semi-
globalization (Ghemawat, 2003). Semi-globalization implies that we observe
neither extreme geographical fragmentation of the world in national markets nor
complete integration. Incomplete integration means that location specificity, in
this case regional specificity, matters. Only in the context of incomplete

integration is there scope for international MNE strategy that is conceptually
distinct from conventional domestic strategy.
