Successful manufacturers and import / export businesses know the importance of building strong and credible business relationships with Japan and other parts of the global market. Cultural challenges and communication barriers can stand in the way of developing these opportunities particularly when companies work with highly technical information. Misunderstandings cost far too much in lost revenue and reputation.
In Japan, social status and respect are gained with experience and age. It is reasonable to employ an experienced and older person as interpreter.
Tip: Occasionally, direct literal translations of documents from Japanese to English may alter the true meanings or omit critical information. With Window to Japan Consulting at your side, these situations can be avoided.
On-Site Seminars "Introduction to Japanese Business Culture"
Japanese business culture and etiquette
Culture gaps and business application in Japan
Japan has a very unique, rich and exiting culture. This unique culture has a strong influence on how they conduct business, regardless of whether they are dealing with international business partners. When conducting business with the Japanese, understanding their gestures, pauses and hesitations, however slight, could be the difference between the success or failure of a business relationship.
Currently, Japan has enormous buying power. However, the English speaking world has not yet succeeded in fully benefiting from this market. In order to get along with Japanese business people, their unique emotional needs must be met first. Understanding their basic business culture is imperative when conducting business with the Japanese.
Window to Japan Consulting provides seminars in understanding basic Japanese business culture.
Tip: In Japan, "yes", may mean "no" in certain situations. For the non-Japanese it may take years to understand how to respond in a socially acceptable manner.
