Spire Talks About Business Opportunities and Challenges in Indonesia to NUS Alumni

Gurugram, India, February 09, 2019 –(PR.com)– Spire was honoured to participate at the Navigating Japan-Indonesia Investment, Business and Market Culture meet. The interactive session was held on 11 December, 2018 in Jakarta at the National University of Singapore campus. Jeffrey Bahar, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Spire Research and Consulting group, shared insights on business opportunities in Indonesia for Japanese companies, focusing on successful case studies and challenges.

Bahar discussed business opportunities and navigating challenges for doing business in Indonesia, from the standpoint of Japanese companies.

Clients who achieved success in the Indonesian market include Yoshinoya Indonesia – a Japanese-style quick service restaurant franchise – with 89 stores as of October 2018. The mis-step was Rakuten Belanja Online (RBO) as the Rakuten Japanese business model failed to match the Indonesian market demand, which is more driven through Customer-to-Customer or Business-to-Customer interactions.
