Japan's problem

(9/29/2012)
Reading an article from Washingtonpost.com: As Apple and Samsung dominate, Japan’s tech giants are in a free fall.

Japan's problem is not just in business, it is at the national level. So often, we see Japan has its own standard that is different from all other countries. They want to import to other countries, but don't want to buy imports from another country (because Japanese's products are the best). They ignore the economy of scale of globalization that is outside of Japan and rapidly expands in recent decades. So many Japanese tech giants were "innovating" for its own market and to become the leader in Japan market. Look at NEC and Fujitsu, they are PC leaders in Japan. But few consumers outside of Japan know them as PC makers. From the people, to business and the nation, they just overlook what is going on outside of Japan because they entered into a deadly self-breeding cycle for their diminishing future.
