“…In addition, the study set three factors as strategic reasons for location: access to low-cost production (locations with cheap labor and material costs), market access, and access to skills and knowledge. 2 There have been many studies on the role of mother plants with discussions on global plant networks in international management theory, and even studies of Japanese firms (Amano, 2005;Hamamatsu, 2017;Oki, 2012Oki, , 2014Oki, , 2015Oki, , 2016Suh, 2016Suh, , 2017aSuh, , 2017b. and a measurement scale for choosing the top three "reasons for locating and using a plant" from among supplier proximity, labor availability, usability of skills and know-how, market proximity, sociopolitical reasons, competition, energy, and other factors.…”

Papers on operations management in major journals have studied (1) relationships between the level of alignment in business and manufacturing strategies, practice realization, and performance; (2) the role of plants in global production networks; and (3) the reconciling of business and manufacturing strategies by operational executives. However, while these studies have positioned the role of plants as a strategic weapon in firms, their perspective is that the role of plants is imparted by headquarters or business units. Actually, the phenomenon which Japanese domestic plants have continued to work on various issues in an advanced manner from a global view went beyond this scope. There is a need for exploratory research from the perspective of plants as to the relationship between the role of plants and the strategic behavior of factory managers in continuing to grow while trying to survive in challenging environments and organizational capabilities built in plants.

“…A growing body of IHRM studies has gradually recognized migrant workers as a source of competitive advantage, which could contribute to international firms (Guo & Al Ariss, 2015). Although resource-limited SMEs are known to develop and leverage various business relationships as crucial resources for international expansion (Hamamatsu, 2017a(Hamamatsu, , 2017b, the role of migrant workers in SMEs' overseas expansion has been discussed inadequately.…”

This paper intends to understand the overseas business expansion of a Japanese SME that is facilitated by strategic management of technical interns (TIs), a type of foreign migrant labor in Japan. We challenge the current prejudices and narrow view on the role of TIs by introducing a unique case wherein a rural SME utilized TIs as strategic human resources. Furthermore, we highlighted the positive influence of TIs on the gradual insiderization in foreign markets and development of new business opportunities.

Using grounded theory approach in management research

In the field of management research, the grounded theory approach (GTA) pioneered by Glaser and Strauss (1967) is frequently cited to assert methodological validity in qualitative theory-building studies, in contrast with quantitative research that uses majority hypothesis validation. Glaser and Strauss eventually came to disagree with each other, and GTA branched into three perspectives. Of these, Strauss and Corbin (1990), which defines coding and other analytical processes in detail, is cited most frequently although the studies that cite it do not necessarily reflect its characteristics. It is, therefore, clear that the differences in these three perspectives are not connected with differences in research methodologies.
