Background: Growing Need for Role-Specific 'Practical Knowledge' Among Overseas Business Personnel

In recent years, the roles expected of expatriates and overseas assignees responsible for managing overseas subsidiaries have rapidly expanded. At the same time, to improve the performance of overseas operations, headquarters departments—including overseas business units, strategic planning, and functional divisions—as well as next-generation global talent, are increasingly required to possess management perspectives and practical knowledge aligned with local subsidiaries. However, learning opportunities that allow individuals to systematically acquire the necessary management knowledge, leadership skills, and practical methods for overseas operations remain insufficient.

Common challenges reported in global talent development include:

- While the responsibilities of expatriates and overseas assignees have expanded, they often lack sufficient management knowledge, leadership skills, and practical methods for local operations.

- Employees may possess foundational management knowledge but are unsure how to apply it effectively in overseas business contexts.

- Professionals struggle to expand or adapt their domestically developed expertise in production, sales, and other areas to overseas operations.

- Even personnel at Japanese headquarters involved in overseas business are expected to develop specialized expertise in strategic planning and management with a local subsidiary perspective.

- Companies seek to create learning opportunities that foster global mindset, enhance global literacy, and support self-development for nurturing next-generation global talent.
