Japanese Government Wants FUJIFILM to Buy A Stake into NIKON
Patrick FR replied to Patrick FR's topic in General Discussion
true, Fujifilm camera division is smaller than Nikons... but the company as a whole is way bigger, flexible and healthier than Nikon. As such, they for sure have the money needed to make investments. If investing in Nikon is smart, well, I have no idea -
Japanese Government Wants FUJIFILM to Buy A Stake into NIKON

So far as I hear, Japanese countries are very proud to keep companies Japanese. So it's not unusual, at least for me, that the Japanese goverment moves, when they hear foreign companies try to put their hands on Nikon (because they are afraid to lose jobs) Btw, the Japanese magazine is highly reputable. I hear even former Japanese prime ministers write for that magazine. So I think they are used to write well informed articles -

That's the point... jobs never get lost. Maybe they will make even more jobs. But not in Japan. If H&M moves manufacturing clothes from USA to Bagladesh, jobs are not lost. They make many new jobs. Just somewhere else. This is why it is normal that goverments look at the market development at their home, and try to convince companies to remain (sometimes helping financially... see FIAT) -

The goverment often interferes with "private corporation" decisions. Because when a private domestic corporation gets bought by a foreign corporation, the goverment is afraid that jobs will be moved to another country. Which is why the goverments always "talks" and try to influence decisions the market should make independently. It's all about keeping jobs at home, and don't lose them to another country -
