Japanese Corporate Rituals

Doing business in Japan exposes you to certain rituals that can make or break your deals. Therefore, you need to be aware of these procedures and, more importantly, you need to know how to participate in them. Take the giving of business cards for example. This might seem a minor aspect to you but if you show disrespect (like doodling on the card or picking your teeth with it) – your chances of success will be greatly reduced! So, make sure that you recognise the importance of rituals in corporate Japan and you will be on the right path!
