Before the Second World War, I.G. Farben, the giant German chemical firm, extended its operations to the Far East. It exported goods, licensed its technologies and made direct investments in Japan. Through these forms of international business activities, I.G. Farben transferred its production technology and managerial skills to the Japanese chemical industry. This article, using company archives, examines the background, motives, process and results of the transfer activities. It concludes that I.G. Farben exerted a significant influence on the production technology, marketing policy, and distribution system of the Japanese chemical industry
