Business etiquette in Japan
Question
What are the essential cultural and business etiquette to observe when doing business in Japan?
Answer
Politeness and sensitivity are at the centre of Japanese business etiquette. Perhaps, the main difference between Western and Japanese business etiquette is that the Japanese tend to be more formal; but do not let that daunt you because ultimately, Japan operates like everywhere else.
