The Nikkei Weekly Interview [Japan Business News]

Peter Barakan interviews Russell Willis, President of eigoTown.com Limited/plus this week’s headlines

In the modern age, English is the language of global commerce and international culture. In Japan, English has been both a nemesis and a tool for self-expression for many people over the years. In fact, the business of teaching English in Japan is a mature, multi-million dollar affair. Russell Willis takes us on a journey into the heart of Japan’s business of English language education. The online portal he started in 2000, eigoTown.com, is Japan’s premier portal site for everything related to English for Japanese job-seekers, teachers, students – the full spectrum of English language-based travel, relationships, culture, and more. This show will give you a unique, informed perspective on what it takes to create ongoing success in this tough, mature, and vital market.

Doubtless you’d see the vault where the money is kept. But, don’t stop there: go deeper, down to the real backbone of the bank, the physical and IT infrastructure that keeps the crucial information flowing.
