Mr.Thanks

Hi everyone, today we’re diving into “geopolitics.” It’s all about how geography impacts a country’s strategy, diplomacy, and economy.

Think about recent events: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, China’s “Belt and Road” initiative, and the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy. Geopolitics is key to understanding these global shifts.

Why did Russia attack Ukraine? Why is China expanding its maritime presence? By looking at geography and national strategies together, we get a clearer picture.

Now, geopolitics isn’t about justifying countries grabbing land. It’s crucial to know how it’s been used, and sometimes misused, throughout history.

Today, we’ll break down the basics of geopolitics, its impact, and why it matters in our lives. Let’s get started!

Drawing on real case studies from Japan and abroad, as well as successful examples from other industries, the program clearly explains how to increase sales, improve gross margins, and grow operating profit, while showing how to break free from price competition.
