Japan, Focus and beat

While enjoying my weekend playing Wii, I realized that all my childhood i played an "American"game(Mario Bros.). But, is it an all-American videogame? Really the inventor is Shigeru Yamamoto, a Japanese video game designer. Why american, we often forget that really it is Japanese. Also I started thinking and I had a sort of epiphany; Nintendo is also Japanese. So that got me thinking, what is the limit for Japanese entrepreneurs? We see them in the news and in the movies as those businessman of high-class and intelligence? Is there a limit(for them)?

They have no limits because they know what they want and how to get it. Knowledge economy for them is very important. They know how to develop it and how to implement it.

Sony has gone beyond borders in technology management. Its BluRay disc beat HD-DVD. It got us new sound systems and new technologies. Without Sony we will not have an iPod right now, why not iPod’s ancestor is the walkman; and maybe we had forgotten it but walkman is a product produced by Japanese brand Sony.

Some other examples are Yamaha, Capcom, Fujifilm, Honda (link to a video of Honda's robots http://tinyurl.com/y9w3a45), and many others a complete list of brands can be find here: http://tinyurl.com/yc9u59u





BTW do not forget that tasty meal we get almost each weekend, Sushi. Maybe we eat the American modification but it would not exist if Japanese hadn't invent the traditional sushi.
