Short description

This book is a compilation of interviews I conducted while doing a series for NikkeiBP’s ASSOCIE magazine in 2004. The idea behind the series was to interview young leaders of foreign firms operating in Japan to see how they are succeeding in the Japanese market. In addition, I wanted to see how they lead their Japanese employees and what their visions for the future are.

Extended description

As you read this book, please note that the interviews were about one hour in length. Thus, we had to cut the interviews dramatically in order to fit them into one book. Please note that each person interviewed speaks English differently based on their cultural experiences and national identity. Just as international business styles and strategies differ, so do those who lead those businesses. Enjoy the book and try to look beyond the language to their messages about Japan, business and the future.

Leaders interviewed were from the following companies:
