FY 2014/2015 Research Topic: B-4-06
Taiwan-Japan Small & Medium Enterprises' Cooperation to Explore the ASEAN Markets

Outline

In recent years, Japan-Taiwan business alliances have been intensively argued for by many business people, policymakers and researchers because Japanese and Taiwanese firms may be able to overcome their respective difficulties and further develop by combining their advantages. In particular, the strengths of Japanese and Taiwanese small and medium-sized enterprises are complementary. Although many cases of Japan-Taiwan business alliances have been observed in mainland China, since the business environment in China is changing and the potential opportunities in ASEAN countries have been revalued positively, it should also be examined whether Japan-Taiwan business alliances can work in Southeastern Asia.
