Search - The Eight Core Values of the Japanese Businessman: Toward an Understanding of Japanese Management

The Eight Core Values of the Japanese Businessman Toward an Understanding of Japanese Management
Author: Erdener Kaynak, Yasutaka Sai

The values and behaviors of the Japanese businessman--and of the Japanese in general--are quite diverse and keep changing, making it difficult for anyone (including the Japanese themselves) to truly understand why they act the way they do. The Eight Core Values of the Japanese Businessman saves readers time and effort when pursuing business oppo... more »rtunities in Japan because it identifies the core values of the Japanese businessman, ranging from the obvious and public, ?Diligence,? to the more private, ?Silence as Eloquence? and ?Perception of Time.? After identifying these eight core values, Yasutaka Sai explores the history and modern interpretation of each. Based on over 300 Japanese language sources--otherwise unavailable to those who do not read Japanese--The Eight Core Values of the Japanese Businessman reveals the diversity and dynamism of Japanese values and behaviors. This information empowers businesspeople and international business educators to develop solid business relationships with the Japanese. With many years of experience, the author focuses on specific values that are most common among Japanese in the business world. These are not exclusive, but the most prevalent or widely shared values that Western businesspeople are likely to encounter:

Japanese diligence, work ethic, and ?Gambarism? or persistence
group orientation: sense of belonging and participation, spirit of harmony, interpersonal relations
aesthetics and perfectionism
curiosity and emphasis on innovation
respect for form and ?Hana Yori Dango? or practicality
a mind for competition and outlook on rewards
the value of silence as eloquence
perception of time

As there is no single uniformly accepted source for the values of today's Japanese citizen or business person, Sai's exploration opens a vital window into understanding many Japanese values and behaviors. The Eight Core Values of the Japanese Businessman is vital reading for those with international business concerns--business and management educators, businesspeople interested in how Japanese managers manage and employees work, and practicing managers interested in cross-cultural management issues. It allows readers to develop good relationships with the Japanese based on a realistic understanding of how they think and act, both individually and as members of business organizations.
