Keiretsu
A is a set of companies with interlocking business relationships and shareholdings. In the legal sense, it is a type of informal business group that are loosely organized alliances within the social world of Japan's business community.

The ''zaibatsu' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
