The Bridge Between Japan and the Mekong Region Countries
The Bridge Between the Mekong Region Countries and Japan
Sasin Japan Center (SJC) has served as a bridge between Japan and the Mekong region countries in order to enhance connections at both business and academic levels. With its strategic location in Bangkok, in the heart of the Greater Mekong Sub-Region (GMS), SJC promotes Thailand’s and the region’s rich cultures and customs to Japanese business people and academics through various activities.
SJC has served as a platform for academics, business groups, and public sector organizations to develop strong, impactful connections between the Greater Mekong Sub-Region and Japan.
Services
SJC has 3 core domains: Knowledge creation (Research): SJC conducts interviews and discussions with leaders of major corporations in order to gain insights and make connections for business in Thailand. SJC and NNA, a leading Japanese business newspaper, publish monthly articles by interviewing top management of leading companies. These interviews help uncover the key factors to be successful in Thailand and in other ASEAN markets as well as the weak points of Japanese companies, such as frequent job rotation. Knowledge sharing (Education): SJC helps disseminate these insights to students and business leaders in Thailand and Japan through seminars, workshops, and internship programs. Knowledge practice (Consulting): The SJC team offers consulting services for Japanese companies. Feasibility studies, research on market size, restructuring personnel evaluation systems, and strategic planning are among our areas of specialty.Visitors 2023:
