Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: Although the Japanese regularly go to great lengths to prove that their business practices and policies are the same as ours there are many differences, both fundamental and interpretive, which provide the American businessman in Japan with an endless source of frustration, anxiety and wonder. The only worthwhile approach to an understanding of how business is done in Japan is the personal one, and it is from this point of view that I have undertaken to explore the problem. Specifically, I have attempted to show how the personal factor has affected the physical make-up as well as the character and personality of business in several important fields and to suggest steps the American businessman might take to increase his chances of success in Japan.
