tal disadvantage against Japan. This is also the reason US firms try not to enter or strongly compete in a given market today dominated by the Japanese such as consumer electronics. This keiretsu financial strategy allows Japanese companies to out finance all other foreign competitors and ultimately take over almost any industry they choose. The above reasons are why buying Japanese products, even in an industry unrelated to the one who works in it, can actually cause the consumer to loose his job! This is much more likely than anyone may think. Japanese take the profit from a product a person buys (like a car), and transfer it, through the keiretsu bank, to develop, invest in, and dump products into the industry that person works in, which eventually puts them out of a job.Another clever tactic Japan employs to defeat American industries is perfecting products within their country.
