Overview (Sections D, E and F)
My chosen organization is the NBA, more specifically I will be focusing on expanding
this organization in Japan. When it comes to international business there isn’t another sport
organization that does a better job of this than the NBA. The NBA doesn’t just force themselves
into different countries. They go to these countries and hold camps and do charity work and
ingratiate themselves with the people of that country and when NBA teams play pre-season and
regular season games there many people show up.
Another factor is the number of foreign players in the NBA and the countries that these
players are from want to see one of their own make it big in North America so generally they have
an audience in other countries already. The NBA continues to thrive internationally with the game
becoming even bigger as more players from overseas continue to make it into the NBA (i.e. The
Greek Freak, Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons).
Some of the business data that can be used to inform the decision of the NBA’s expansion
into Japan is that there is already a presence there. As stated earlier with the NBA having such a
large presence internationally, by default there will be many benefits to expanding. From the
sales of merchandise, people following the different teams and players through social media.
Whenever the NBA plays preseason and regular season games it sells out so you have the profits
from ticket sales and broadcasting rights. Even though Japan has its own basketball league (B.
League) it does not have the large following like the NBA does. The fact that the people of
Japan support the NBA more than their own league shows just how much the NBA would benefit

from expanding there. A growth opportunity for the NBA in Japan could be having events that
are exclusive to Japan and incorporates Japanese culture into these events so that they do not
accidently offend the culture there, which is something that is very important in countries such as
Japan. By doing this people there are more likely to participate in these events and are more
likely to go out of their way to purchase NBA merchandise for simply respecting their culture.
In addition, another idea for growth would be to create Japan exclusive merchandise with
designs that resemble Japanese culture. Incorporating Japanese culture into any events or
anything the NBA decides to do would very beneficial because of the importance of it in this
country.
The headquarters of the NBA would be located in Tokyo since that’s where the majority
of businesses in Japan are located and it is the largest city in Japan. Creating the headquarters
from scratch would be the best approach because this would allow the NBA to make sure they
have everything they need to be successful in this thriving city. The games would be played in
the current arena in Tokyo, Arena Tachikawa Tachihi, which is currently the home of one of the
Alvark Tokyo who play in Japans B. League. The NBA team would play here for the first couple
of years while they begin construction on their own arena.
