To ensure her opportunity identified was feasible, Fariza interviewed 200 Japanese managers and 500 international employees about the global work environment and cultural miscommunication. With this information, she created a database and seminar content to help Japanese companies perform better in the global business environment; thus, the launch of SOPHYS Corporation.
