Global Daigaku.com Recommended Seminars

  • The Economist Conferences Presents
    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!
