Book Synopsis

In an atmosphere of increasing opportunities and complexities for international business, the authors (from Europe, North America and Asia) discuss some of the major factors to be considered by lawyers who assist in devising strategies for the penetration of foreign markets.

From a business point of view, attention is paid to the international framework for the sale of goods, the use of agents and distributors, franchising, licensing of processes, etc. Japanese authors contribute by offering some insight into business organisations in Japan. Some articles deal with the significance of a united Europe in 1992 in relation to international business.
