When renewing an overseas branch office, there are often difficulties due to different local circumstances from Japan. This is especially true for those who are designing such an office for the first time, as there is a tendency to lack knowledge about overseas office operations, the latest office trends, how to choose a contractor, manage construction, and a lack of information on the unique culture and trends at overseas branches.
For example, in China, where the Personal Information Protection Law was revised in 2021, personal information protection equivalent to the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is required. In office design, it is necessary to consider how you will protect personal information, such as locking and managing paper materials containing personal information or handling electronic personal information in a dedicated room with a dedicated network.
In this book, we introduce specific tasks to consider for those considering renewing an overseas office, points to keep in mind when renewing an overseas office for the first time, and tips for responding to the changing global business environment.
