This site has one purpose. To provide important Japanese business information in English. It is a resource for company executives:
- planning to build a business, source a distributor, establish a licensing agreement or form any other strategic partnership with a Japanese company.
- seeking Japan industry sector information relevant to your business.
- boosting your sales and marketing activities in Japan.
- seeking competitive intelligence on what Japanese businesses are 'doing' in specific business sectors.
- with a scheduled business mission to Japan who need to 'knowledge up' on Japanese business style, negotiation techniques and etiquette.
- who will be receiving Japanese business visitors to their home countries.
The first significant issue business executives face when 'dealing' with Japan is accessing quality information. As most of the best information is in Japanese, English sources are scarce ... and what's available from generic outlets is often stale, out of date, inappropriate or simply irrelevant.
The solution was to draw together the best Japan-focused information resources available, all quickly dowloadable to your computer. Reports are less than three years old. The majority were completed within the last year. New resources are added on a regular basis. Some of the sites require a simple email registration process. Others do not. All are high calibre companies with secure sites.
The cost of each report depends on the subject, detail and price set by the author. Quality business information and market intelligence can be a pretty costly exercise. However, we are confident there is no 'cheaper' way of quickly accessing quality information ... either on line or in the real world.
