Japan-Western Cultural Differences Ver10. “European HQ Sets Salary Increases Based on Inflation. But Japan Is Now Required to Deliver Real Wage Growth.”
European headquarters often set Japan’s salary‑increase rate based solely on inflation, but this approach ignores Japan’s unique labor‑market reality. Japan’s salary‑increase budget frequently exceeds inflation, and inflation‑based raises lead to real wage declines, lower motivation, and reduced competitiveness. True global management requires a Think Global, Act Local approach grounded in Japan‑specific data.
