BizCast Japan #9 Released at Trans-Pacific Radio

November 19, 2007

BizCast Japan #9 has been released over at Trans-Pacific Radio. Albrecht Stahmer and I sat down to discuss what’s going on in Japan’s business scene, and we think this is by far our most comprehensive discussion yet. Topics covered include the migration of Japanese brands overseas (Muji, Uniqlo), Toto’s marketing push in the US, misleading mobile phone advertising, the decline in construction of new houses and condos, Sony Financial’s IPO, what the effects of fingerprinting all foreigners might have on Japan’s international business hub aspirations, and…

…the last 20 minutes are a discussion of Japan’s English language teaching market and some thoughts on how it got into the current mess and why there seems to be no way out.

We would be flattered if you’d give us a listen.
