So Toyota is a benefit retail right now.

It's a major safety concerned. It is a public relation nightmare. This is a sort of global depressed that taxed the corporate Toyota identity. Wouldwild recall for sticking accelerator panels caused the automaker hundreds of milliions to fix. And millions of more damage is reputation for quality. Toyoto is just latest Japanese corporate icon to lose its way.

Remember the SONY walkman. Well no one in the area of Apple iPad and iPhone does either. SONY was once the giant personal ga//, but analysts widely agreed it became too big, too corporate, and lost its focus.

Japan airline also grew and grew. So much that expenses double double its profits. Corporate inflexibility which led its planes with empty seats fly all over Japan. Now the once prond airline enter bankruptcy just a few weeks ago. They can give one of the countries biggest ever corporated failures.

Do you see Japanese companies be as strong right now as they were five ten years ago. Let's cross the board to know.

Tokyo based financial advisor Temidy Curt would have seen the boost blast of Japan's economy. Recent years company like Toyoto focus on the globle expansiion on brand. Let it go. What it is known for?

They have spent hours looking at management that it is enjoyed the success of the global, that's the global consumers spending bloom we seen dring the good time. But I think they were overly exposed the down site. And I think that's what cause the problems in Japan right now.

It's happening as neighbor China is seen expending economy set overtake Japan this year. China has proved he can make Japan like ga cars cheaper.


But as a tend was proving Japan cannot be the world's capital of quality, innovation and engineering, probably cann't be anywhere in the world.
