  • Softbank Family, Two Years Ago I Was Given the Mandate to Create A
    SoftBank Family, Two years ago I was given the mandate to create a Government Affairs department to manage the legislative, regulatory and political matters affecting Softbank and its global investments. Today, the group’s world- class leadership team brings to bear public policy and public affairs expertise that allows Government Affairs to effectively serve the entire SoftBank’s ecosystem including the SoftBank Group Corp, SoftBank Vision Fund, Softbank Group International, SoftBank Latam Fund and others. Under Ziad Ojakli’s leadership, the Government Affairs team has made many significant contributions to SoftBank, including most notably: • Facilitating regulatory approval of the Sprint-T-Mobile merger – a $195B enterprise value merger and the 7th largest stock merger in history • Implementing SoftBank’s national security policy and creating a compliance and training framework to ensure adherence and protect our investments • Obtaining CFIUS approvals on all of our investments with limited to no mitigation requirements • Providing strategic counsel and direct support to 35+ portfolio companies • Building a strong SoftBank brand with political leaders globally But arguably Ziad’s greatest achievement is the Government Affairs team that he has built. Even before Ziad joined SoftBank, he and I discussed the importance of building a high-performing team of such caliber and cohesiveness that Government Affairs would be ‘future-proofed’. I explained to Ziad that the hallmark of leadership excellence is creating a team that can predictably deliver value beyond its leader – that is the legacy of a great leader. And Ziad has executed on this leadership mission flawlessly. Ziad will be leaving SoftBank on September 22nd to begin a new chapter in his career.

  • Fujitsu's Approaches to Developing Smartphones
    Fujitsu’s Approaches to Developing Smartphones Katsumi Takada Amid a paradigm shift from feature phones to smartphones, Fujitsu acquired the top market share in Japan as a vendor of mobile phones with its quick deployment of 11 smartphones for NTT DOCOMO, INC. and KDDI CORPORATION in 2011. While maintaining this strong domestic market position, Fujitsu is aiming to enter global markets in earnest with Raku-Raku SMART PHONEs in 2012. Fujitsu smartphones are founded on two of the company’s strengths. The first is the company’s technologies—its phones have the best features in the industry because they adopt the latest and fastest platform, they have leading radio technology, and they use Fujitsu’s unique technologies that it has cultivated so far, such as human perception technolo- gies for good visibility of displays, good audibility of phone calls, and comfortable touchscreen controls. The other is the company’s excellence in manufacturing within factories that are lo- cated in Japan. Furthermore, Fujitsu keeps improving its software development ability to use open-source technology which is necessary for smartphone platforms such as Android OS. This paper introduces Fujitsu’s smartphone strategy that utilizes these strengths and also its ap- proach to developing new markets. 1.
