本文探讨了日本参与南非制造业的发展。在涉及日本海外投资的增长和传播的大量文献中，日本公司在南非的独特情况被忽视了。尽管南非出台了直接投资禁令，但由于许可安排，日本在当地制造业中仍存在相当大的“隐藏”存在。特别是，日本企业在南非汽车行业占有重要地位，在创新新型灵活生产系统方面处于领先地位。
This paper examines the development of Japanese involvement in South African manufacturing. In the extensive literature dealing with the growth and spread of Japanese investment abroad the unique situation of Japanese companies in South Africa has been overlooked. Despite the introduction of a ban on direct investment in South Africa there is a considerable ‘hidden’ Japanese presence in local manufacturing which resulted from licensing arrangements. In particular, Japanese enterprise is strongly represented in the South African motor-vehicles sector where it is at the forefront in innovating new flexible production systems.
