This PowerPoint presentation aims to provide European businesses and investors with a general understanding of the Japanese business culture. Cross-cultural differences are an important aspect of doing business in Japan and preparation is crucial for anyone wishing to enter the Japanese market.
To help European businesses and investors interact effectively with their Japanese interlocutors and succeed in Japan, Mr. Salic prepared a list of basic do’s and don’ts such as; pay attention to time management and hierarchy, don’t challenge someone in front of others or do not decline an invitation to socialise.
You can also find more information about cultural differences and business etiquette in our “culture” section.
