Globalizing Tokyo
Japan set for radical reform of markets: "There is a lot that is good in there," said a representative for a foreign bank. "It's not the end of the story. They need to keep doing more to globalise Tokyo as a financial centre." -- Financial Times
Encouraging more industries in Tokyo to think and act globally is a good idea for Japan. Many of Japan`s companies are global, sure, but the pervading attitude around the place is most certainly not global. I find China far more open to the west from a business perspective (and it ain`t even close). And many people agree. That`s why this set of reforms has been released by the government. Of course, they could call the guys at Toyota and Honda for a little advice. I`m serious.
Centralized economy structuring like what has been happening in Tokyo can be taken as radical, but certainly is not the way to grow better. My most reason for toyota and Honda can still put their advices on, is simply because they should have similar asian perspective, which should be easier to convey for the chinese.
