Info:
As part of our Big in Japan series, we are joined by Allen Miner, the CEO of SunBridge Corporation, a leading advisor to information technology startups operating globally.
In this presentation, Allen will share his insights from working with a variety of Silicon Valley firms on their entry to the Japanese market. He shares with us the formula for success followed by the firms that do best in Japan as well as the recipe for failure that is common among firms that don't succeed in Japan. These include issues of how to set up and staff the Japanese operation, how to balance the relationship with headquarters, and whether a wholly-owned subsidiary, JV, or distributorship is the best form for market entry. He'll also discuss typical danger points faced by firms in the Japanese market, and the impact of leadership changes at the parent company on the Japanese operation.
These insights will be illustrated by case study examples drawn from Allen's extensive experience supporting successful entries by American companies to the Japanese market and his 30 years living and working in Japan.
