  It's clear that we have to win in Japan to be a global player in B2B," contends Joseph Kim, managing director and CEO of ICG Japan, addressing the new entity's mission within the parent company's long-term strategy.Kim, formerly a senior managing director of H&Q Asia Pacific, firmly believes the company has a game plan that guarantees victory.
  ...
  "Historically most technology has been introduced into Japan later than elsewhere, but the time it takes for the Japanese economy to absorb, adapt and make that technology its own is much shorter than almost anywhere else in the world," says Kim."And there is no reason why that is not going to happen with B2B, very dramatically and very rapidly."
  
  Kim believes that the process has begun with the building of a B2B infrastructure."The technology and service enablers are what have to develop first," he says, "and that will happen within the next 12 months."As in Europe, that will often mean relying on ICG partners, such as Breakaway Solutions and ICG Commerce.Once those systems are in place, the large Japanese companies that have been monitoring the B2B market in the United States will be ready to get in the game.At that point, it will be important for ICG to partner with those companies, "to develop new business models for existing industry players," Kim adds.
  
  "Incumbent Japanese companies have to understand that this is an important revolution," says Kim, "one that will allow them to operate in a way that would have been unthinkable for them in the past.

  At a February 27 Japan Society corporate luncheon panel, Karl Ruping of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology led a discussion of B2B in Japan with Kurt Cavano, Chairman and CEO of TradeCard Inc., a paperless, electronic settlement vehicle similar to a consumer credit card; John Ferreira, Co-Leader, B2B Initiative, at Deloitte Consulting; Yoshinori Warashina, head of ITOCHU International Inc's information technology and aerospace division; and Joseph Kim, Deputy Chairman, President and CEO of ICG Asia, as well as President and CEO of ICG Japan K.K.
  ...
  Just as TradeCard found a way to provide assurance of payment, Joseph Kim believes that Japan creates its own unique solutions."In hindsight," he said, "business-to-business e-commerce in Japan developed rapidly based on a very Japanese solution, wireless connectivity.Landline-based Internet service providers or ‘ISPs' never went anywhere in Japan.I-mode, short for Internet-mode, became the biggest ISP in Japan.Within the next two years it will probably be the biggest ISP in the world."
  
  "Japanese e-commerce over wireless platforms is now probably two to three years ahead of that in the U.S. and other non-wired European countries," stated Mr. Kim, adding "Everything in Japan is now geared toward the wireless environment.Japan will lead the world in e-commerce developments with device-based breakthroughs that will be very simple and logical for customers to use."
  
  Mr. Kim summarized the comments of the panel: "The strengths and capabilities of the Japanese are based on technology that is theirs alone.In two years B2B may look very different from what we're extrapolating from the U.S. today.Japan will create a B2B solution that is more attractive, dynamic and dramatic than anything we could have anticipated it would be.,"

  The media is excessively fond of simple labels to define the ethnic and cultural backgrounds of people helping shape Japan's Internet.Thus , Softbank's Masayoshi Son becomes a Japanese-Korean , and Cybird's Robert Hori is Japanese-American..But 38-year-old Joseph Kim , CEO of US B2B giant Internet Capital Group's new Japan subsidiary , defies simple tagging.Kim was born in Korea and spent portions of his childhood in Japan and the US , and he has since lived , worked , or studied in Japan , Europe , Hong Kong , and New York.Attending elementary school in Sapporo in the 1970s , Kim wasn't aware of any differences between himself and the Japanese kids ; during high school in Los Angeles , he fit right in with California's cool , Asia-savvy culture.Kim's back in Japan , and he brings a wealth of experience to ICG from previous consulting stints at McKinsey and H&Q Asia Pacific , as well as time spent as a venture capitalist , an investment banker , and a fund manager.Now , as he tries to position ICG Japan as the No. 1 player helping connect Japan's established technology companies with new ventures , he'll need all his multicultural skills to bridge cultural gaps.Not the gaps between national cultures , but the gaps in business culture between the venerable tech conglomerates and the new Net startups.Indeed , Kim thinks that nations like Japan and Korea are remarkable for their similarities and hopes to find high tech ventures serving both.Daniel Scuka spoke with Kim at ICG Japan's new offices in Tokyo.
