Since the mid 1980s, Japanese firms have been transferring factories to Asian countries, particularly to China. In order to investigate the overseas manufacturing policy of Japanese firms and its effects on the regional economy, I conducted research on Seiko Epson, a large computer and information machinery corporation located in Nagano prefecture in Japan. Seiko Epson formerly transferred only manufacturing sections to China for the purpose of utilizing cheap labor, however, it is currently transferring also technology development sections. This shows the changing international division of labor within a Japanese corporation. Seiko Epson's overseas manufacturing policy has a significant influence on its parts suppliers, most of which are middle sized or small firms. They are conducting two strategies to cope with the influence. One is an overseas strategy of transferring factories to Asian countries following Seiko Epson. The other is a domestic strategy such as diversifying their products or finding out a 'niche' of market. I also conducted research on Sakaki town in Nagano, which is famous for the 'venture business town' in an agricultural area, for the purpose of investigating the 'hollowing out' of regional economy. In the early 1990s, Sakaki had more than 370 manufacturing factories ; nearly 90% of them had less than 30 employees. However, the number decreased approximately by 60 in the last decade. In order to cope with this hard condition, Sakaki local government recently started a new policy of stimulating local firms to introduce the information and communication technology, particularly the use of Internet.

自20世纪80年代中期以来，日本公司一直在将工厂转移到亚洲国家，特别是中国。为了考察日本公司的海外制造政策及其对地区经济的影响，我对位于日本长野县的大型计算机和信息机械公司精工爱普生进行了研究。精工爱普生以前只将制造部门转让给中国，以利用廉价劳动力为目的，但目前它也在转让技术开发部门。这显示了一家日本公司内部不断变化的国际分工。精工爱普生的海外制造政策对其零部件供应商有重大影响，这些供应商大多是中小型公司。他们正在实施两项战略来应对这种影响。其一是继爱普生之后，将工厂转移到亚洲国家的海外战略。另一种是国内战略，比如使产品多样化或找到一个“利基”市场。我还对长野的Sakaki镇进行了调查，以考察区域经济的“空心化”。长野以农业区的“创业小镇”而闻名。上世纪90年代初，佐木拥有370多家制造工厂；其中近90%的工厂员工不到30人。然而，在过去的十年中，这一数字减少了大约60人。为了应对这一困难状况，佐崎地方政府最近开始了一项新的政策，鼓励当地企业引进信息和通信技术，特别是互联网的使用。
