Globalization at Komatsu
Michael Y. Yoshino
The case captures the challenges Komatsu, the second largest manufacturer of the earth moving equipment faced during the past five decades as it sought to globalize its operations. By 2007, it had become the second largest manufacturer of the earth moving equipment with more than 80% of its sales coming from outside of Japan. It has built a network of plants, distributors and service centers around the world. Senior management is convinced that a major reason for its success is its culture, recently articulated as the Komatsu Way. The central issue in the case is how to transmit and embed it to its far flung operations throughout the world.

Renault-Nissan Alliance, The
Michael Y. Yoshino and Perry Fagan
On Wednesday, May 29, 2002, the board of directors of Renault-Nissan BV (RNBV) met for the first time to discuss the state of the alliance between Renault SA and Nissan Motors-two of the world's largest automakers. RNBV was a 50/50 joint venture company established in March of that year to oversee the strategy of the alliance and all activities undertaken jointly by Renault and Nissan. The new company would "steer alliance strategy and supervise common activities on a global level, while respecting the identity and culture of each company and not interfering in operations." Executives at both companies believed much had been accomplished in the first three years of the alliance. Nissan, under Carlos Ghosn's leadership, had improved its finances dramatically and was rapidly reemerging as a major player in the global auto industry. Moreover, the alliance partners were in line with their initial forecast of $3.3 billion in cost savings and synergies promised by 2002, according to their internal reporting. As the board prepared to meet, Louis Schweitzer and Ghosn believed the alliance faced difficult challenges ahead. To what extent would the two companies be able to realize further savings and synergies, particularly in the areas of manufacturing and additional sales? How should the RNBV board address issues that had surfaced as employees of the two firms worked together across disparate corporate and national cultures, functions, and geographies? Ultimately, would the two firms be able to strike a balance between deepening their alliance while "respecting the identity and culture of each company and not interfering in operations?"

Shinsei Bank (A)
Michael Y. Yoshino and Perry Fagan
In a deal marking the first acquisition of a domestic Japanese financial institution by foreigners, a consortium of Western investors purchased the assets of the Long Term Credit Bank (LTCB) of Japan in March 2000. The new management renames the bank Shinsei Bank, meaning new birth, and sets about implementing a bold new strategy calling for a hybrid bank that includes commercial, retail, and investment banking activities, managed according to Western banking principles. This case reviews the events that led up to LTCBs failure, nationalization, and subsequent purchase. The job of making the hybrid bank work falls to Shinsei president and CEO Masamoto Yashiro. Yashiro wonders how he can manage this hybrid bank.

Procter & Gamble Japan (A)
Michael Y. Yoshino
Ten years after entering Japan, P&G had accumulated over $250 million in operating losses on declining annual sales of $120 million by 1983. The decision facing the president of P&G International: exit, retrench or rebuild the operation? Ironically, the initial entry was a success story with P&G Japan achieving an operating breakeven in their fifth year and market leadership in a number of categories. However, in the late 1970's market share and profit in all categories declined disastrously. Management changes failed to reverse the trends until an objective examination of the entry strategy, approach to the Japanese consumer, competition, technology and internal organization were made. By 1983, accelerating losses forced P&G to decide whether to exit or stay.
