To mark the alliance, the firms will host a virtual event for professionals at Japanese companies with an interest in improving their global position.

BOSTON, MA, USA, November 4, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Japan, the world's third largest economy, represents a huge opportunity for many exporters. Despite the attractiveness of the market, many companies find themselves daunted by the impression that Japan is uniquely challenging from a linguistic and cultural perspective. As with any market, Japanese customers have some unique expectations. Local competitors in Japan have an advantage in understanding these expectations, but also some blind spots that foreign entrants can turn into a competitive edge if they develop a careful understanding of their customers deep needs.

To help global organizations effectively reach new customers in Japan, and Japanese companies expand to new markets, CSA Research has teamed up with Japanese market research and consulting firm mct, Inc., a Daishinsha Group company.

Based on local market qualitative research approaches, including one-to-one interviews, group interviews, and diary studies, mct observes and listens to customers and potential customers, turning that insight into tools to support product design, marketing and communications plans, and CX initiatives.

To mark this alliance, CSA Research and mct will host a virtual launch event with a presentation by Dr. Arle Lommel, senior analyst at CSA Research This virtual event is free of charge to professionals at Japanese companies with an interest in improving their global, competitive position. A recording will be available for people in other time zones.
