Japanese business associations establish branches in countries with trade potential and even employ foreigners to serve as managers. Enterprises use international negotiations and mergers to identify business opportunities. One example is the way in which Renault's effective takeover of Nissan has given the company a new lease of life.
日本商社在有貿易潛力的國家都遍佈據點，甚至將經理人才委由外國人來擔任，企業透過國際談判、合併來尋求生機，以法國雷諾集團進駐日產汽車為例，讓日產因此再生。
