9 Market Challenges A sophisticated market plugged into consumer trends in Japan and Korea, awash in products from mainland China and well aware of market developments in America and around the globe; A price sensitive market for high-quality, differentiated products rather than commodity items; A very innovative market with improved enforcement of IPR (intellectual property rights) protection; A small but high value quality market competing against the lure of larger markets (mainland China and India); A market with deep traditional Chinese cultural characteristics yet mixed with business cultural practices from Japanese and American influence; A market with strong integrated capabilities and value-add services in low-cost and flexible manufacturing management.
