The spread of COVID-19. Rising geopolitical risks. The environment surrounding our society and economy is changing at a dizzying pace. And as a result, Japanese and international business environments are becoming more and more uncertain. As Japanese companies work to expand overseas and to develop their overseas businesses, they face not only conventional challenges but also unprecedented issues. To address these issues, they need to take steps such as revising their expansion plans, reassigning workers and restructuring their global supply chains.
PwC has established the JBN (Japan Business Network) to help these Japanese companies solve their problems. The JBN is headquartered in Japan, and includes experienced professionals (including native Japanese speakers) in 40 countries and territories around the world who work to support the business activities of Japanese companies. To do so, we provide services fine-tuned to the globalization needs of individual clients, taking local business practices and cultures into consideration. And through PwC’s global network consisting of 149 countries and regions with more than 370,000 members, we gather information and trends from each country to gain an accurate understanding of the world economy and provide clients with information that contributes to their business strategy.
