Advanced Leadership Pathways: Junko Yoda and Her Collaboration to Address Sex Trafficking in Asia

by Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Ai-Ling Jamila Malone and Tessa Natanay Hamilton

Abstract

Following a successful career as the first female Vice President of Goldman Sachs in Asia, Junko Yoda became a 2010 Advanced Leadership Fellow at Harvard University. During her fellowship, she set out to promote awareness, and prevent and alleviate the effects of human sex trafficking on women and children. Yoda launched CLinked, a venture that functioned "to reduce commercial exploitation of women and children by linking communities through education, health, and economic development partners to innovate local solutions." This case provides an overview of Yoda's professional experiences, exploration of the topic, and development and implementation of programs. This case may be used for courses related to social enterprise, change management, leadership, and entrepreneurship.

Chinese appliance company Haier's 2016 acquisition of iconic GE Appliances ushered in strategic and structural changes to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship at the U.S. company, and to help it grow. Haier, which had a model designed to bring the company closer to users of its products, wanted GEA to adopt a version of the model that suited the U.S. market, U.S. consumers, and GEA's employees. This case describes GEA's efforts to do that as a member of the Haier Group. Teaching Note for HBS No. 319-044.
