Point1: It is very difficult to find a good country manager in Japan for a couple of reasons Language : Excellent English language skills are essential for your country manager to have for day-to-day communications. There are many excellent businesspersons in Japan. However most of them lack good English language skills. Less than 1 % of Japanese people can speak English fluently.... Brand : Japanese people are brand conscious. They like to buy brand name products. And They like to work for well known companies. Therefore, the cream of the crop go to work for large Japanese companies. And also Japanese people don't want to move easily from big company to mid and small companies. It is almost impossible to find a good businessperson that has the right experience and is proficient in the English language! Point2: It is very expensive to operate an office in Japan. Office: Office rent is very expensive in Japan. If you want to rent an office in the Tokyo area, it will easily cost you easily $100K per a year. And if you rent office space in a run down area, it is will be difficult to attract quality employees to manage your business. Employment: Personnel cost in Japan is higher than you might expect. If you hire a good country manager, his or her salary will be about $200K per year. Also he/she will need his/ her team and an assistant. The salary for each person will be about $50K per year. On top or this, you have to consider SGA expenses which could easily be at the $200K level. Total expenses per one year for a basic branch office in Japan will be $500K. Many foreign companies are spending more than $1M per year and are not able to generate enough revenue to justify this expence.
