He also profiles Japan's major financial institutions, which are aggressively restructuring to defend their home turf from foreign competitors.Now that the economic crisis appears to be over, this exciting new book gives business students, scholars, and executives an in-depth analysis and understanding of the on-going transformation of the Japanese marketplace in banking, securities, insurance, asset management, mutual funds, and consumer credit.
