Winning in Japan: The British Way

Although Japan has faced challenges with GDP growth and deflationary circumstances in the past, it continues to maintain its rank as the third-largest global economy.

In this context, Vijay directs attention toward Japan as a market and explores the British approach to attracting and nurturing talent. This examination draws on the perspectives of foreign executives from various national headquarters.

We take a look at the hurdles encountered by Japan, its strategies for managing talent and leadership, and the potential advantages that companies of diverse origins can enjoy in terms of brand positioning.

A thriving foreign business in Japan not only generates revenue but also opens doors to leverage opportunities globally, as Japan remains one of the largest non-English speaking markets with trends that quickly influence other non-English speaking markets.

This is the first article of a series with a focus on Japan, following the release of the whitepaper, Winning in Asia Pacific: The American Way, which will focus on insights from foreign executives representing a range of national headquarters.
