Issues of Management Team in Overseas Subsidiaries

1 Lack of Objectivity and Mutual Understanding

Japanese expatriates and executives cannot cooperate effectively due to resistance and ingratiation based on the premise of conflict between Japanese standards and local standards (lack of awareness and understanding of multinational standards and the other's standards)

• Japanese expatriates:
  Lack of global business experience and business experience in host country
• Executives:
  Shortage of global business experience and awareness/understanding of Japanese standards

2 Lack of Specialized Skills and Experience/Capability

Executives lack maturity, and the executive team cannot offer an effective resolution for business and organizational issues on its own.

• Japanese expatriates:
  Lack of business experience in host country and management experience
• Executives:
  Lack of management literacy and experience
