Scrutiny from regulators outside Japan: Challenges for Japanese companies

There are three cultural themes that consistently influence the way that Japanese companies interact with the outside world: (i) form over function, (ii) group over individual, and (iii) harmony.

These themes are not the main topics of this series, but they are constant threads that run throughout each episode.  Understanding these themes is essential for grasping the challenges faced by Japanese companies when dealing with scrutiny from regulators and litigants outside Japan.

Betrayal Season 5

Betrayal Season 5

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
