In Japenese culture, privacy is highly valued. It is important to refrain from personal questions and opinions at the beginning of a business relationship. Only share information when you feel there is reciprocity in the conversation!

@EugeneKim102 It's amazing that South Korea is the world leader in internet connectivity! Japan is up there in the technology world, and they keep growing as time goes on!

Gift exchanging in the Japanese culture is very important in the business world. If you receive a gift from a potential business partner, always open it in private. This removes the chance of you giving a "loss of face" if you receive a poor gift.

@allisonyu99 Appearances are everything in Japan. Simplicity in Japan is the easiest way to remain professional!

Japanese society is concerned with relative status in social relationships. Higher-ranking employees are considered of higher status and the way in which people sit matters. The person with the highest status sits next to the meeting leader. #BUS302 @Professor_Hoang

@Alivia_BUS302 Hi Alivia,

Not only does Japan score high in the masculinity dimension, Japan is also very competitive in both business and learning.

Germany's Beer Purity Law requires beer to have 4 ingredients: water, hops, yeast, and malts. Germans are culturally strict rule-followers, and this law has been followed since 1516. If you decide to add other ingredients, you can't call it beer!

Bowing is the traditional form of greeting in Japanese culture. Bowing can also be used to indicate gratitude, an apology, or congratulations. A longer and deeper bow is more respectful and can signify a formal apology or a sincere thanks. #BUS302 @Professor_Hoang

I'm sorry, I forgot to @ you for my first post!

One thing I've noticed about Japanese culture is that people are very polite and respectful. This is in personal day-to-day encounters and in the business world. Being polite and respectful to whoever you meet in the world will open many doors in life
