While Japanese companies have no problems actually opening up a locally incorporated company, differing languages, cultures, legal systems, business practices and competition with local companies all made it very difficult for Japanese companies to succeed.
Furthermore, various operational resources such as local organizations, human resources, networks and know-how are required to run a business abroad and Japanese companies just don't have these things in most cases.
M&A is what Japanese companies need to overcome this and make their businesses succeed. M&A allows Japanese companies to get the resources they need to compete with local companies upon their expansion into the ASEAN region.
