Global Business

In the near future, the term "global business" will become obsolete. Global business expansion is becoming commonplace, especially in the manufacturing industry. In such an era, companies that have not yet found a way to expand their business globally are likely to have structural problems in terms of organization and human resources. There are no more excuses. It's time to step out into the world.

Our Essential

The global business we pursue does not mean that all of the executives will be foreigners, nor does it mean that we will completely abandon the organizational routines of Japanese companies. It is about globalizing business, organization, and human resources while retaining the strengths of Japanese companies. Baycurrent has been promoting the development of global human resources and has accumulated experience in global projects. Originating in Japan, and having worked closely with Japan's leading companies, we are now equipped to support the realization of global Japanese companies. Together with our clients, we will open the door to the global world.

Key issues identified included factory and warehouse operations and information systems management. To develop a governance model acceptable to both Japan and the US, we devised a new approach to address these differences, successfully resolving the governance dysfunction.
