The complex art of negotiation between different cultures

Article Abstract:

There are many social and cultural differences that must be considered in order to negotiate successfully with Japanese companies. These differences should be anticipated and carefully prepared for. The Japanese will focus more on the relationship they are creating with a new company than the terms of the contract. They will be focused on long-term profit-making, not short-term goals. Be aware that they will be indirect and reluctant to say no, and will not want to be told no directly. Be prepared for negotiations to take more time in order for Japanese companies to reach consensus internally.
