Japan Cultural Awareness

Our 'Japan Cultural Awareness' training course, can be delivered in a classroom setting or via webinar. It is possible for webinar recordings to be uploaded to an eLearning platform, along with supplementary resources, quizzes and case studies for future access.

Aims of the course

Japanese business culture differs greatly from UK business culture.  By understanding the culture of your Japanese counterparts you will greatly enhance your chances of delivering productive and successful business transactions. You will also appreciate the expectations that your Japanese counterparts have of you and gain the skills and know-how to develop an effective business strategy.  You will also gain an understanding of business etiquette and an appreciation of behaviours that are likely to cause offence and damage relationships. 

Our Japanese business culture course can be delivered face to face, via live, interactive webinar or, as an off-the-shelf, online course. The off-the-shelf version of this course has been developed by Japanese business experts and run by our sister company, 'Commisceo Global Consulting'. 

The course can be accessed via the Commisceo Global Consulting website, or, uploaded to in house learning management systems.
