Case Study
In this workshop Maiko Kuroda, President and Executive Officer of Toyoko Inn, will present the purpose, values and business model of Toyoko Inn, the hotel chain with the largest number of guest rooms in Japan.
You will hear from her how she has - over the past 15 years since she returned to Toyoko Inn - carried on the philosophy that her father established at Toyoko Inn and her own important attempts to further develop the transparency of the governance system, to motivate employees and build the company together with employees, and to coexist with the local community.
In addition, we will discuss what challenges female business owners are facing in Japan, how Maiko Kuroda is promoting female managers in her organization – and of course other questions you will have to learn more about the family and business culture in Japan.
