Despite the global economic turmoil, Japan has witnessed a rebound with its GDP returning to growth, the Tokyo Olympics Games rescheduled, and a free trade deal signed. The success is inseparable from leading companies adept at accommodating to changes, such as Canon and Kikkoman. Canon CEO Mitarai insisted on strategies for long-term growth in its traditional business, and branched out into new areas in the meantime, which helps the company weather the pandemic downturn. Kikkoman CEO Mogi led the company to success by encouraging innovation and also learning from experiences. Companies with such abilities are positioned for overcoming adversity and embracing future success.
