- A U.S. biotechnology company gives exclusive Pan-Asian distribution rights for its key product to a Japanese company. Only later does it learn that its new partner has a competing product in the R&D pipeline, severely complicating the relationship and limiting the company's access to this booming marketplace.
- A U.S. manufacturer investigates the progress made by Japanese companies in applying Flexible Manufacturing Systems to the autoparts industry. Using only information in the public domain, the company is able to radically re-design its assembly line, saving time and money.
From Data to Intelligence is a practical and timely opportunity to learn how to gather the information you need to succeed in Japan. Actual case studies will show the pit-falls facing the researcher who needs to follow Japanese developments. After introducing key resources including databases, the Internet, and human networks, our experts will give step by step explanations of the best techniques for turning this data into actionable intelligence. By the end of the seminar, you will be ready to start building your own firm's capability to gather information from Japan and turn it into a competitive advantage.
