Free Webinar “Japan Entry Strategy” at the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation

“JAPAN ENTRY STRATEGY” WEBINAR #4

Date: Tuesday, 25 February 2014

Time: from 10:30 to 11:30 (Brussels time)

What are the major Entry Strategies and which legal structure in Japan is optimal for my business requirements?

[Abstract]  There are various Entry Strategies that a company can adopt when approaching Japan. Each strategy has its own levels of costs, benefits, risks and legal/tax issues, to be assessed carefully. The most appropriate method is usually determined by the market potential, the company’s degree of international expertise as well as the resources available. Most SMEs use the direct exporting strategy by engaging an agent or a distributor but there are other options, which we will cover during the webinar and for which we will give specific and practical information, according to the following three categories:

  • Part I – Direct Sales Approach: Representative or Liaison Offices, Branch Offices, Subsidiaries (Kabushiki Kaisha versus Godo Kaisha) &      E-commerce or E-business Operations.
  • Part II – Indirect Sales Approach: Agents, Distributors & Trading Companies.
  • Part III – Strategic Alliances & Partnerships: Informal & Formal Partnerships, Licensing & Franchising Agreements, M & A (Mergers & Acquisitions) & Joint-Ventures.

The webinar is targeted to EU companies approaching the Japanese Market or reviewing their options in terms of Japan Entry Strategy.
