“…The first is the frequently discussed gender hierarchy in Japanese firms and that it might make women feel lacking a career future in Japan. Despite the Equal Employment Opportunity Law introduced in 1986, women in Japan continue to be placed on separate occupational categories, and consequently lag men in incomes and have difficulty developing careers (Kurihara, 2009;Yamaguchi, 2013). This career mobility gap persists even when education and tenure of employment are controlled (Yamaguchi, 2013).…”

Japan welcomes highly educated migrants, but do these migrants stay on in Japan? Drawing on a web survey of 600 immigrant employees working in Japan, this paper evaluates different factors influencing migrants’ stay and leave intentions. The results indicate that economic and employment-related reasons have limited impact on migrants’ stay intentions. Nationalities also predict migrants’ varied willingness to stay in Japan, indicating the blurring boundary between economic and cultural logics of migration. Among all factors, marrying locals provides the strongest incentive to stay, demonstrating again that affective and social ties exercise the most power in anchoring the migrants.

“…In combination with the other sources of data used to develop the case study, Correspondingly, we claim to have achieved 'real world' insights into how post-acquisition investments in investment towards achieving synergy at NSG-Pilkington acquisition have evolved through boundaries periods of time and international business 'space' (Yin, 2004;Kurihara, 2006). While accepting the inevitable threats to the validity and reliability of data generated through case study research in terms (for example) of selective and cognitive bias on the part of researchers and participants, the choice of case study as a primary research method in respect of NSG-Pilkington benefits from a systematic, multi-perspective, triangulated and critical interaction within spaces and across time periods defined dynamically and longitudinally, thereby corresponding to the 'real world' experiences of IB practitioners in a publicly listed company.…”

This article seeks to advance international business researcher and practitioner insights into processes of cross-border mergers and acquisitions. Specifically, this article highlights the extent to which processes of strategic integration might impact positively and / or negatively on the long term business performance of the newly formed firm during the post-acquisition period -a measure of performance we refer to here as 'synergy'. In methodological terms, this article develops a mixed-method case study approach, generating, analysing and interpreting empirical data designed to illustrate processes of strategic integration implemented by senior managers at a Japanese firm, Nippon Sheet Glass (NSG), after its acquisition of a UK firm, Pilkington. The case study is longitudinal, drawing on quantitative and qualitative data gathered and analysed between 2006 and 2017. Applying a combination of event study methodology to an iterative analysis of business performance data along with coded analysis of data from in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, this article explores the extent to which strategic integration can both 'fail' in terms of achieving synergy and -for a number of generalizable reasons proposed in this article -ultimately 'succeed': for example, in cases where the acquiring and acquired firms attempt to integrate their human resource management systems while benefitting from investments of 'patient' capital, which (we propose) might be a distinctive feature of cross-border acquisitions sourced in Japan.
