ACCESS JAPAN COMPACT

Japan know-how for those in a hurry

Your situation

You need to prepare for a business trip to Japan within a short period of time. You will host Japanese guests or attend an important meeting. You are a manager interested in gaining a better understanding of the situation experienced by those of your co-workers dealing with Japan directly. You have little Japan know-how – but just as little time to devote to the subject.

Your goals

What you need is a brief but comprehensive overview of Japanese business culture: What makes the Japanese tick? How should you assess their behaviour? Which situations should one be prepared for? What gaffes are to be avoided?
