[jp]楽天は「日本企業をやめて世界企業になる」 by Tech Crunch
Japanese biggest e-commerce company Rakuten has decided to change their internal official language to English by 2012.
Japanese market shows signs of weakness, for instance, Japan's GDP is overstrieded by China soon, and also in this 30 years Japan's GDP will fall below 5% of Global whole GDPs. Based on this perspective, Rakuten has decided to go into global business market.
Even for me, it is apparent that English conversation skill will bring me bigger and better business opportunity. I wanna say "Quit the employee of Japanese domestic company, to be the employee of global company" in the words of Mikitani-san.
