Japan's Corporate Samurai Prey on Foreign Acquisitions


WHILE the image of Japan is one of a society turning in on itself and becoming more insular, Japanese companies are doing the opposite.   
Japan's corporate samurai are again seeking to strut the world stage, this time through acquisitions of foreign firms rather than the "vanity" property purchases of the bubble era.

Japanese firms are estimated to have spent $50 billion on offshore mergers and acquisitions already this year, far above last year's total of just over $34bn.
