The Founder of Uniqlo Has a Wake-Up Call for Japan

TIME100 Leadership | Tadashi Yanai
On the face of it, Yanai has many reasons to feel upbeat. Fast Retailing-the holding company that operates Uniqlo and eight other brands he established out of his father’s tailoring business-saw operating profits of $2.54 billion for the year to Aug. 31, up 28.2% year over year. The firm’s share price, meanwhile, has soared 31% so far this year, propelling Yanai’s personal wealth to $36 billion. He also has bold plans to finally conquer the U.S. by nearly tripling Uniqlo’s existing 72 North American outlets by 2027.

You didn't talk about anything about the "Wake-Up" that Japan needs as a country. In the article, YOU published, he says that Japan has been dormant for 30 years and the government has no clue what they're doing to advance the country's economy. Additionally, they mentioned that Japan's "Top-down" Corporate/Business Culture and Japan's roots are creating a culture of conformity instead of independence. I expected much more on this topic.
