Japan Market Engineering ("JME") is a consulting firm that provides foreign-capital companies with the ability to monitor and influence the Japanese regulatory environment. JME also offers public and external affairs representation in Japan for foreign trade and business organizations. Typical projects include:
Regulatory Policy Participation: A foreign-capital company used JME to identify and approach Japanese industry allies on a government panel shaping national policy in the satellite business.
Shield Against Controversy: JME is adept at educating the Japanese press and business groups in support of clients' positions on controversial trade and legal issues, through Japanese-language presentations that do not expose the client to adverse publicity or retaliation. The client may remain anonymous, its views attributed to JME.
Technical Standards Management: A foreign-capital computer network company relied on JME to follow, and if necessary intervene in, the course of telecommunications network standardization in Japan.
Legislative Monitoring: Several foreign-based coalitions used JME to track possible Japanese legislation (i) imposing strict EC-style recycling duties on electronic and plastic packaging or (ii) weakening intellectual property protection for software or (iii) reducing health-care reimbursements.
Industry-to-Industry Dialog: A foreign trade association without an office in Japan retained JME to arrange joint conferences, exhibits and market surveys with the counterpart Japanese industry association.
Budgeting and Business Planning: A U.S. regional telephone company has used JME to create a budget and strategic plan for possible entry into the Japanese market. A foreign-based health care marketer used JME to write a business plan for an online system of health care data. A chemical imaging company had JME advise them on restructuring to take advantage of digital imaging technology and opportunities for alliances.
