How unique is Japanese negotiating behavior?
How unique is Japanese negotiating behavior? Japanese negotiators often wait until the last minute before panicking and offering concessions, yet they are not the sole negotiators to do so. If circumstances have changed after an agreement had been reached, the Japanese are likely not to take a strictly legalistic approach and try to renegotiate the agreement.
How is Japanese etiquette different from American etiquette?
In America, and many other countries around the world, it is standard practice to tip the waiter after eating at a restaurant. However, in Japan, tipping a waiter is not customary, and is considered bad manners. In Japanese culture, people are encouraged to function as a group, rather than as an individual.
