Check out this great write-up on Small Business Trends. The post summarizes a discussion from Joi Ito’s blog about the difficulty of starting a business in Japan. I thought it went well with our discussion last month about the similar situation in France. The included chart shows France only slightly better than Japan for entrepreneurial activity.
uh, none of your links seems to be working. For example: the small business trends link points to: “www.apennyfor.com/www.smallbusinesstrends.com”
thanks for the heads-up.
I have updated them and they are working now.
