European managers and employees who work with Japan often find that it is difficult to communicate effectively and that the intercultural misunderstandings behind such issues seem impenetrable.
A key to successfully communication in the Japanese business environment is harmony: to understand how to communicate not only with words but also with empathy!
Indeed, successful exchanges with Japanese counterparts require an inhabitual attention to detail and a significant investment in time in order to learn a whole new set of rules of communication.Another key factor is that communication in Asia, especially in Japan, is extremely indirect.
