日本市場進出支援

日本はすでに、国際ビジネスにとって本格的な市場である。JETROは大きな対内投資を報告しており、外資系企業が国内で事業を拡大していることを示す継続的なデータを公表している。

When revenue is below target, the instinct is often to increase marketing activity. More posts. More ads. More content. A new website. Another campaign.

JETRO’s interview with IKEA Japan emphasizes consumer research and understanding how people actually live. JETRO’s Insider Japan case identifies optimization of software and services for the Japanese market as a primary factor in business expansion.

The exercise is useful because it demonstrates how quickly the budget expands beyond company registration: professional services, capital, visa work, office setup, hiring and housing can all become part of the establishment picture.
