Japan’s labor productivity in 2020, based on data from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) released last year, will be $ 49.5 per hour of employment (purchasing power parity equivalent of ¥ 5086). It ranks 23rd out of 38 OECD countries, which is below the average of OECD countries. Since 1970, it has been the lowest in the G7, and it is the same in corporate sales.

In McKinsey & Company’s report “Why is Japan’s sales productivity low?”, The company calculated “sales ROI” as an index to compare sales efficiency and pointed out the low global sales productivity in Japan. There is. For example, in the fields of “electrical / mechanical”, “automobile parts”, “building materials”, “electronic parts”, “semiconductors”, “home appliances”, “office equipment”, “plant engineering”, “system integrators”, and “chemistry”, the sales ROI is the global average. The result is that nothing exceeds.
