With the third largest economy in the world, Japan is an attractive market for Western companies looking to expand internationally. To do successful business in Japan, however, Westerners need to understand Japanese culture and business etiquette. The strongly hierarchical group mentality and distinct social etiquette in Japan require careful consideration in your business proceedings with Japanese people. What messages are indirectly communicated via speaking manner and body language? How do Japanese companies balance business and social proceedings? What are common mistakes that Western companies make? What is the most successful approach to doing business with Japanese people?

This 90-minute session consists of a 60-minute presentation, followed by 30 minutes for Q&A. The speaker is Ames Gross, president of Pacific Bridge Medical.
