Japanese leaders in business, culture, politics and other fields should look abroad and take what Japan can do best to the world, said Yoshito Hori, president of Globis University and managing partner of Globis Capital Partners.
The head of Japan's largest business school operator also said that the World Economic Forum's annual meeting on global leadership, commonly called Davos after the Swiss ski resort at which it is held, is an excellent opportunity for Japan to present its strengths to the world. Hori is a regular speaker at Davos, which will run this year from Jan. 23 to 27. He will hold a "GLOBIS Night!" event after the Japanese government's Japan Night event at the conference.
"In order to promote Japan's strengths to the world, instead of expecting the government to do something about it, we as a society should put pressure on everybody to fight in a global field. We should promote the mentality that it is meaningless to be satisfied with being a leader only in Japan," Hori said in an interview with The Japan Times.
