Opis

Even casual observers will be familiar with the Cherry Blossom or Sakura tress of Japan. When in full bloom the sight is spectacular but it sadly only takes a week until the tree is bare. In a longer cycle of nations and business, we see, unfortunately, a similar pattern for Japanese Multinational Corporations.

This book is an essential reference for those seeking global success in today's complex world.' - R. Lon Combs, President, iEnter Japan
