Japan Cultural Training
Doing business in a foreign country isn't like going on holiday: don't expect to get by with knowledge of a few words, and don't assume business is conducted in the same way universally.
But how can you properly prepare? There are many cultural training companies and schools which can help you. They offer cross-cultural grounding, bridging the translatory and protocolic gaps between nations and people.
Providing guidance in all areas of business and sociality, these cultural training companies are experts when it comes to negotiation training; management training; and diversity training. All training, of course, can be country-specific.
Tutorials can take many forms, so investigate which will be right for you and, if necessary, your employees.
Business Etiquette in Japan
The formalities and informalities; the how dyou dos and how dyou donts. Etiquette is one of the foundations of modern civilisation, and business is no exception. A business blunder, in some countries, could mean the difference between a deal and disrepute. Again, its all about culture if not adopting, at least recognising and respecting the traditions and protocols of a people.
If you are expanding a business to Japan, the concept of face is important. In Japanese culture, it is considered embarrassing if you turn down an individuals request. Instead you are supposed to say that the request is inconvenient or under consideration, rather than cause someone to loose face, which is considered humiliating. If you are setting up a business in Japan, it is helpful to understand the concept of harmony. Japanese society is built on a foundation of harmony, and from an early age Japanese people are encouraged to avoid confrontation. Japanese business greetings are also very formal and ritualized, although the Japanese are known to be forgiving of people who make cultural mistakes.
