Japanese Business Etiquette

• Meeting

Maintain a quiet and polite manner at all times.

A bow ("ojigi") can be a way of greeting someone, saying "I'm sorry" or even asking for a favour.

The depth of the bow depends on your counterpart status. When bowing to an individual who is of higher status than you do it a little lower than that person to display respect.

Pointing is considered rude.

Blowing one's nose in public is also regarded as impolite, as is sniffing.

Laughter will normally indicate embarrassment or distress, rather than amusement.

Expect to be asked extremely personal questions regarding your salary, education, and family life.

• Offering Gifts

Offering gifts is a very important part of Japanese business protocol.

The emphasis in Japanese business culture is on the ritual of offering gifts rather than the content of the gift.

It is a serious mistake to offer the same gift to two or more Japanese of unequal rank.

In the presence of a group of people, offering a gift to one person and failing to do so to the others is also an offence.

Gifts are opened in private to avoid the "loss of face" of a poor choice.

Foreign, prestigious branded items, frozen steaks, pen and pencil sets or a simple commemorative photograph are good choices.

• Eating

Slurping your noodles and tea is encouraged in Japan.

When finishing a meal, leave a small portion of food on your plate to indicate that you enjoyed it.

If you are invited to a karaoke bar, you will be expected to sing. It doesn't matter if you are out of tune.

• Negotiation

Punctuality is essential. Japanese believe it is rude to be late.

Connections are very helpful in Japan but choose your contacts carefully. Pick someone of the same rank as the person with whom he or she will have dealings.

If your company is an older, venerable institution, this fact should be frequently mentioned.

Be respectful to your older Japanese counterparts: age means rank in Japanese business culture.

Negotiations generally have an atmosphere of deep seriousness. Anything you say will be taken LITERALLY. Remarks such as "This is killing me!" or "You are joking!" are to be avoided by obvious reasons.

Decisions are made only within the group. Foreigners must gain acceptance from the group before they can have influence in the decision-making process.

Japanese prefer verbal agreements to written ones, and shouldn't be pressured into signing documents.

The decision-making process is usually very slow, sometimes taking as long as one to three years.

If you are needing a translation, the probability is that you will need Standard German as this is used as the International variation in Commerce. Only on the occasion where you text or translation in the form of advertising or marketing is specifically for a given region/area outside Germany, eg: Switzerland, Luxembourg would you use a local variation. Although there is very little differnece (see below).

Standard German is used in other countries and regions, besides Germany:
