Difficulties and Rewards of Starting a Business in Japan -- The winning team with their certificates and classmate Dollar

The J@pan Inc-Temple University Business Writing Contest was held by J@pan Inc in order to encourage and recognize aspiring, young business people at Temple University, Japan (TUJ). The genesis of the contest owes much to Dollar Abshir Omar, a dynamic student at TUJ, who approached Metropolis and J@pan Inc about building links. Three clubs at TUJ participated, researching and writing articles. The other two entries, from the World Business Organization and from the Finance Club covered Apple in Japan and diversity in the work place respectively. The Student Charity Foundation’s article was particularly impressive earning them a spot in the magazine and certifi cates recognizing their achievement.

Referring to the contest in general, Dollar commented, “I really think this competition was a good start for TUJ clubs and J@pan Inc to build a bond and contribute their international spirit to Tokyo. The winners were happy about winning the contest because they put in a lot of effort and time to write the article.”

We would like to thank all the students involved and hope to continue working with TUJ.
