    Dear Professor Paik:

    I would consider 'Uniqlo', for it reflects the recession in Japan and how the owner used the environmental threat as an opportunity.

    Sincerely,

    I have used the following case:

     

    "Takahiko Naraki, the Three Million Yen Entrepreneur"

     

    The case was prepared by Jason Inch, under the direction of Eric Morse. It is from Morse & Mitchell (2006). Cases in entrepreneurship: The venture creation process (pages 12-17).

     

    Best, Jeff

    Hi, Yong.
     
    I used the Tamago-Ya case (Shinya Fushimi, Stanford Univ, HBSP GS-69, 9/9/07).  It is about bento (lunch boxes), and I found some good videos on YouTube to complement it.  It worked well for me in last year's "Global Leadership - Asia" course (part of our MBA core curriculum).  I plan to use it again this year.
     
    Please let me know any readings that you might have that I could use with it.
     
    Thanks.

  • 5.  Entrepreneurship in Japan Case

    Posted 11-17-2010 08:26
    Hi. I would recommend the following:
     
    Inamori Kazuo: Kyocera's founder (HBS case)
    Son Masayoshi: CEO of Softbank Japan (HBR article)
    Jinnai Ryouchi: Founder of Promise (HBS case)- although Promise is now an associated company of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp.
     
    I would also very much recommend Daiso (100 Yen chain store) and its  founder Yano Hirotake, if there is any case.
     
    With best wishes,
