Report: Cultural Approach to Dealing with Japanese Business

About the Report

This report titled 'Cultural Approach to Dealing with Japanese Business in Japan: Differences Between SMEs and Large Companies' provides with an overview of Japanese business culture. More specifically, it looks into the differences that occur between SMEs and large companies. It identifies business-related situations where misunderstandings arise and explain meaning and intentions behind them. Furthermore, this report suggests that Japanese and European enterprises share the same cultural values, but to a certain extent, express them in different ways. Finally, this report gives some practical recommendations for European companies in order to be better prepared when doing business in Japan.
