Japan

In Japan, currently there is an issue about buying companies. Let me explain more. In America, it is normal that a company buy other companies’ stock and gain the control over the companies. This is frequently happening in Japan right now. In America, it might be a strategy for a company to expand its business. However, in Japan this strategy is not welcomed. Why? I think it is because of Japanese custom. I can’t really explain what it is but I can say that the strategies work in one country don’t mean they will work in different countries.

I know it is really hard to explain Japanese custom. Japanese people are not as aggressive as American people, so it might not be welcomed in Japan. However, acquisition is not a bad way to make Japanese economy better. It takes some time to make acquistition realized by Japanese people, but I guess it will be welcomed in the future.
