MILWAUKEE — Masaaki “Mike” Kotabe of Temple University will discuss “Have Japanese Companies Stood Still During Japan’s Lost Decade?” on Friday, April 8, at an event sponsored by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Lubar School of Business.
An expert on international business and marketing with a strong focus on Japan, Kotabe will talk about new Japanese product innovations that are suited for a world with dwindling resources and may lead to the resurgence of the Japanese competitive juggernaut in different ways than in the past.
The presentation runs from 12-1:30 p.m. at the University Club of Milwaukee, 924 E. Wells St.
