SUMMARY:2017 Apr G3 - Telsa\, Disrupting Distribution With A Direct Retail Approach
DESCRIPTION:Many people think of Henry Ford when we think of automobiles and their invention.  However\, self propelled vehicles have been around in various forms since the 1800s.  We saw steam\, electric\, and petroleum powered vehicles.  Various electric cars concepts have been around\, yet without breaking the monopoly of fossil fuel powered engines. Combustion based engines have dominated and networks of dealers as well as services has been around them.  Things have finally started to change. \nTesla came to market with high-performance battery based vehicles and has not only challenged the automotive dealer models but also gotten into the core software architecture as well as energy infrastructure area.  In this month’s CEO Insights join us as we hear from Tesla’s VP of North & SE Asia.  We welcome Mr. Nicolas Villeger who will share his insights on how Tesla is completely changing the way people think about automobile purchase and ownership.  Mr. Villeger is no stranger to brands\, he joined Tesla after a successful career at Coach\, Longchamp\, and Estee Lauder.

What are the pros and cons for choosing the licensing model?  How do you pick a good business partner? How do you really negotiate a win-win agreement with that business partner? \nIn April\, FAUCHON’s Japan CEO Mr Philippe Jardin\, will present his thoughts on these many areas in the world of licensing that builds your brand.

SUMMARY:2017 Apr C8 - The C-Level- Tax Planning and Effectively Using Your Money Toolbox
DESCRIPTION:As a CEO of a Japanese\, MNC\, or regional firm we are responsible for many resources.  We have people\, facilities\, business development\, marketing\, warehousing\, and a myriad of other company ‘assets’ to manage\, maximize and grow.  Although human resources seem to be a frequent theme at CEO Insights\, there is another area that heavily impacts our output: finances and taxes. CEO are not only responsible for corporate finances but also need to be wise with our personal finances as we live in multiple countries\, travel frequently\, and have many organizations wanting to get into our wallets.  Individual income rate go up to 55.9%.    Income and asset reporting duties have become more onerous.  Tax liabilities abound.  Bright CEOs must understand both corporate and individual implications. \nChallenges in corporate tax risk management and compliance hit the c-level on the company side with constant change and ever evolving tax changes.  In the April please join us for lunch with Hans-Peter Musahl\, a partner with EY Tax in Tokyo. Mr. Musahl has hands on experience in advising people on how to use their financial toolbox.  He advises executives and business in mostly Japan and Europe.
