If you work with Japanese, good communication is the cornerstone of your success. What do their words really mean? What subtle nonverbal message did you miss? How can you ensure your message produces good results? What's the best way to write an email, an apology, or get the information you need? Japanese Business Communication Lost in Translation? guides you through all of these and more. From the author of the international best seller, Japanese Business Etiquette A Practical Guide to Success with the Japanese, Diana Rowland brings you the lessons gleaned from her 45 years of experience with the Japanese, as well as those shared by participants in thousands of training programs. The result is a rich, thorough book of seriously important information, delivered in a practical, accessible, concise, but playful manner.
Japanese Business Communication Lost in Translation? eBook Diana K Rowland
Diana Rowland has written an extremely useful, charming, and insightful cultural primer that belongs on the iPhone or Kindle of every American business person or diplomat (or even tourist) heading to Japan. Not only is it full of good advice about how to comport oneself in business negotiations but also in Japanese work-places that have hired Americans. And many of her observations, if adopted by tourists, would help erase some of the usual stereotypes of the loud, insensitive American.Especially useful for business people is a chapter devoted to email and other correspondence conducted with Japanese. She gives examples of how these sorts of emails and letters should be written in English and, in an Appendix for those who read the language, how they look in kanji, or characters.
Her book is full of revealing and sometimes amusing anecdotes about how a wrong gesture or misunderstood remark has torpedoed an important trade deal or even led to an expensive lawsuit. And she can be very practical in her suggestions for proper attire. When it comes to women, she recommends a conservative suit and adds, "Longer, fuller skirts are a real plus if you end up sitting on tatami mats. Short, tight skirts get REAL short when you sit on the floor!"
If I have any criticism of this book it is that I would like more discussion about gaijin (foreign) women and how they should behave in Japanese business environments. This is an area where there is also a lot of cultural confusion and misunderstanding. But perhaps that is a subject for a whole other book.
