“A traveler without observation,” said Persian poet Saadi, “is a bird without wings.” The same can be said of a foreign traveler doing business or working in a foreign country. Observing another culture’s etiquette opens doors to more successful communications. This is of particular importance when doing business or working in Japan, where cultural elements can have a profound impact on decision-making and, ultimately, on the effectiveness of a business or working relationship.
Japan’s business culture has to be one of the most unique in the entire world. So you’re thinking of working for a Japanese firm. You might be wondering whether what you’ve heard about working in Japan is true. Or, if you’re already working there, you may wonder if what you’re experiencing is typical.
Our event hope to show you a glimpse of the Japanese working culture and how you can better prepare yourself for the cultural differences. So, before packing your briefcase to travel to Japan, it pays to spend some time to acquaint yourself with the values and accepted behavior patterns of Japanese workplace culture through this event.
