What has been learned remains retrievable over a long period of time. In addition, there was great fun in the workshops and humor about our own culture.

Between the conference room and karaoke, intercultural training in Japan makes it clear what really matters in both cases – and how you can get your Japanese business partners on your side. Despite economic and demographic problems, the Land of the Rising Sun is still the most prosperous society in Asia. The global integration of Japanese companies, its leading position in high-quality consumer goods and its huge domestic market make Japan a global player in the concert of economic powers. However, the Japanese communication style differs enormously from that of most Western European countries. In order to do business successfully in Japan, it is essential to know and take into account cultural differences and to adhere to certain rules in business life. With intercultural training in Japan from Global Cultures, you will learn what is important.
In Japan, even experienced businesspeople have to know how to deal with numerous intercultural misunderstandings. Especially for people who want to establish new business relationships, a great deal of patience is required in order to actually achieve the goals set. Interculturally speaking, Japan is one of the more collectivist countries. Above all, this means that trust is built up very slowly with strangers. With the right know-how, which you will acquire in intercultural training in Japan, you will increase your chances many times over.
Without intercultural training in Japan, successful communication is usually left to chance, as the communication style, cooperation and expectations in Japan are very different from what we are used to. The indirect communication style of the Japanese is often strange and difficult to decipher for Western Europeans. As a result, these projects are usually more time-consuming than in a mono-cultural company. In most cases, this leads to higher project costs. Furthermore, potential customers are often lost to the competition, which uses well-considered intercultural strategies. In an intercultural training course in Japan from Global Cultures, you will also learn how to correctly decode indirect statements and how to formulate such messages yourself.
In intercultural training Japan, you will learn how to significantly increase your efficiency in communicating with the Japanese. You will also significantly improve employee motivation and loyalty. After our practice-oriented intercultural training in Japan, there will be fewer misunderstandings in communication. You will also develop a deeper understanding of the mentality of Japanese colleagues and business partners.
In cultures where an indirect communication style prevails, it is often the “little things” that can ruin an initially promising business relationship. Even unconscious gestures, such as shaking hands, can become an affront. In intercultural training in Japan, you will learn how to avoid such misunderstandings and how to save the relationship should it become necessary.
Intercultural training Japan enables you to gain a noticeable advantage over your competitors. You can therefore also benefit from the intercultural competence you gain from intercultural training in Japan in the long term, e.g. in other international projects.
