description |
During the last two decades. multinational corporations from Japan and America
have contributed significantly to the economic growth of Singapore.
The objectives of this study are to determine the extent to which these
multinationals have transferred and implemented their respective management
practices to the subsidiaries operating in Singapore and to identify the factors
that impede such transfer.
The study consisted of a field research involving seven Japanese and seven
American subsidiaries. The extent of transferability of Japanese and American
management practices to the Singapore environment is limited to dominant
features of each management system. The areas of emphasis include
employment, career path, evaluation and promotion, welfare and decision making.
The results of this study revealed that both the Japanese and American
management practices are transferable to Singapore. However, American
management practices are transferred to Singapore to a greater extent than
Japanese management practices.
By studying the transferability of Japanese and American management practices
to Singapore subsidiaries and understanding the factors that impede such
transfer. it is hoped that the strengths of Japanese and American practices can be
better adopted and put into practice in the local context. |
