Conquering the world with discipline, politeness and Japan-ness
このＪａｐａｎ－ｎｅｓｓという表現が面白いですね。
先日、英語社内公用語化との関連で
、役員が全員日本人じゃないか？と言いましたが
、そこに焦点を当てた質問がありました。興味深いので引用します

Let me press you on that, since ten years is a long time in my business. Can I say that in 12 months you will have a non-Japanese or a woman on your board? (It currently has only four Japanese men in addition to Mr Yanai as chairman).
“I can’t promise that…But the more globalised we become, it is inevitable that more top managers will be women. Next year or the year after that about half of the people will be non-Japanese, and three years down the road, two-thirds of our new employes will be non-Japanese…Our market is no longer Japan. It is the world. We can’t manage the world with Japanese only: Japanese staff and Japanese executives.
