TieCon 2007 - What’s Wrong with Japan
I am hanging out at the TiECon 2007 in Silicon Valley…today May 18th and tomorrow May 19th.
More about that here.
What I am looking for here are a couple of things….
1. Entrepreneurship and Venture Capitalist activity, trends, inclinations in Asia.
2. # 1 above…particularly in China, India and Japan.
What I learn, or in some cases don't learn, I will share here.
For example -
Last evening Nobuyuki Idei, the former CEO of Sony sat on a panel. He shared his ABCs of what's wrong with Japan.
A - Japan is Aging
B - Japan is too much bureaucracy. He served as chairman of Japan's powerful Keidanren….so, he ought to know.
C - Japan is a Closed society. Japan can not lose its island mentality and still wants to do things their own way without outside influence - think…keep immigration to a minimum.
Hmmm….one more thing.
What brought Japan out of its 10+ year funk? Nothing that Japan did. The growth of economies worldwide has influenced Japan enough to bring Japan's economy back to life…outside influences…
When will Japan learn?
