Well, let's discuss THIS business model, in your MBA progam, Garrett: How many millions of people reside in Japan? How many MULTI-millions reside HERE? (answer: about 300 million) Which country has GIVEN-away technological innovations , in the 50's & 60's, and which has exploited those advantages? Which country has protective import restrictions, and which country protects its monetary valuations, to make its exports cheap? Which country has economicaly invaded the other one, taking advantage of receving State provided tax-breaks, in competition with other represeed-revenue/employment states, to manufacture cars/trucks at a lower unit-cost than its 'domestic' (don't want to give-away the answers, here, Garrett; this is a TOUGH Business School course, here) competition, which is entrenched in a high-business cost environment. Which country has dominated the other's ADVERTISING, in EVERY-possible venue, so as to establish a "domestic" entity/existence? You'll have to pardon me, here, folks, this is ONLY 'off' the top of my head; no deep business-school model- research being done here. And, yes, I DID major in Bus Admin, @ Miami U. , in Oxford, OH (class of '72).
