Discussion and ConclusionReviews'This book examines Japanese multinational subsidiaries as hybrid forms of organisation, bridging national institutional contexts and cultures. Taking an ethnographic approach his study helps us with two important challenges: to reduce the artificial analytical boundary between the firm and its context, and to move from simple stereotypes to more nuanced characterisations of national and corporate cultures. This book is thoughtful, insightful and unashamedly personal. In keeping with the opening quote of the book by Edward T. Hall the reader comes away with a strong sense that the author has learnt more about his own culture through his reflections about others.' - Simon Collinson, Professor of International Business and Innovation, Dean, Birmingham Business School, University of Birmingham, U.K. `This book examines Japanese multinational subsidiaries as hybrid forms of organisation, bridging national institutional contexts and cultures.
