Japanese firms seeking to globalize their operations need to develop leaders who can achieve their missions in a diverse business environment across national borders, experts on human resources development told a recent symposium in Tokyo.
These leaders should come not just from among the ranks of their Japanese employees but worldwide, and the companies need to build an appropriate career development process to recruit, train and retain such talented people, they said.
The scholars and company managers involved in human resources development were speaking at the March 11 symposium organized by the Keizai Koho Center under the theme, "Leader development and leadership in the global business environment."
