Résumé
The Japanese have a very special definition of what it means to be a businessman. As big cities such as Tokyo are very modern and advanced, Western people often think that the Japanese behaviour has adapted to the Western style. Ways of communicating and defining one's position in a Japanese company, however, are completely different to Western definitions as they are very much based on traditional Confucian and Buddhist values. A foreign businessman or woman who wishes to work in Japan therefore needs to be aware of and adapt to its basic principles if he wishes the business relationship to lead to a successful outcome.
