So asserts Fumio Takashima, President and CEO of BALS Corporation. The site is the factories and stores where the home/interior products, furniture, and other odds and ends handled by BALS are made and sold. For Takashima, looking at this site from a purely Japanese perspective isn't good enough. He considers all of Asia as his site and is going further into the future by jumping into Asia and then onward to Western countries.

While sitting in the BALS Honk Kong office overlooking Hong Kong's skyscrapers and the redevelopment of the old Kai Tak Airport, Takashima spoke about the current situation in Asia, the current ways of running a company, the current status of himself, and his future.
