Global Daigaku.com Recommended Seminars

  • The Economist Conferences Presents
    China Business and Investment Roundtable

    Date: June 24, 2004
    Venue: Four Seasons Hotel, Tokyo

    Companies lured by a huge and growing domestic market and low manufacturing costs have bet heavily on China being their future source for growth and profits. Yet for many firms, making money in China has proved elusive. Accelerated inflation, exchange rate fluctuations, intellectual property rights, adverse repatriation laws, and difficulties in management operations have all combined to strike a note of caution for those thinking about entering the Chinese market. For those with operations already in China, it has forced a re-think of strategy going forward.

    Keying into these and other crucial developments, this Roundtable will bring together corporate leaders from multinational, Chinese and Japanese firms to debate the most pressing issues facing China and its business environment.

  • Fourth Japan International Automotive Roundtable
    Date: July 14, 2004
    Venue: Hotel Okura, Tokyo

    Following Economist Conferences' Third Automotive Roundtable in Japan last year with Carlos Ghosn and Rolf Eckrodt, the focus this year will be on the challenges facing the industry. In an event which has become a defining platform to debate the future, key issues to be addressed this year include:
    • How Japan can maintain its competitive edge as a global leader in product and manufacturing technology?
    • Ways to cut costs and improve efficiencies. What can be outsourced to other parts of Asia? Would it help Japan's industry or would it lead to a deflationary spiral making life harder still for those companies left in Japan?
    • How can opportunities in China be maximised? Could China's indigenous carmakers threaten the global sales balance?
    • Do the financial difficulties of many vehicle manufacturers represent a competitive advantage for Japanese automakers?
    • and much, much more!
