“The Singapore market lacks companies that operate in the internet, software and communications segment. We cannot exactly name a listed company that is a direct beneficiary of AI. We have only a small video game art studio, Winking Studios, listed on the SGX.” Instead, “we have a high concentration of asset-heavy companies on the SGX. These tend to deliver lower return on equity, and are less-attractive in a higher interest rate environment”. * Singapore struggles to bring Technology-to-Market Innovation, while Innovation happens in other sectors here, we just cannot overcome this barrier and resistance force with Disruptive Innovation Theory. Let Board Directors think over what's Disruptive Technology Innovation 💡

Notably, the rejection was due to the price offered, signaling that Japanese firms are becoming more open to such deals if the terms are right. With increasing shareholder activism and pressure from global investors, Japan’s traditionally conservative corporate culture is adapting. This trend could transform M&A opportunities for investment banks, who must now navigate more complex and competitive transactions. For investment bankers, this evolution represents new possibilities. M&A activity involving Japan’s iconic brands may intensify, as global investors push for restructurings and divestitures. Hostile takeovers could become more frequent, creating demand for advisory services that help businesses defend against unsolicited bids or consider restructuring options.
