03. Avoid well-known mistakes...

There is a large range of well-known mistakes foreign companies have been making over and over again in Japan for many years. Surprisingly foreign companies continue to make these well-known mistakes! Don't make such well-known mistakes! (We can help you avoid them....)

Much of it is common sense. However, you also need to study a lot of facts about Japan, and customs. You will find that some assumptions you made are wrong! You'll also find (surprise, surprise...) that not everybody (Japanese and foreigners) tells you everything they know.

Most "well-known mistakes" lie within the organization of your own company!

Sometimes problems in a Japanese subsidiary are best solved by changing responsibilities in the main office at home! We would be delighted to discuss such issues with you and work on a solution using our large range of experience.

A big "No-No":

The biggest "no-no" is not to do proper preparation, or to start without a strategy. You can assume that normally your Japanese partners will do their preparations and they will have a big advantage, if you are unprepared. You will be surprised how many time consuming and expensive mistakes (in a well-known and extreme case this has cost approx. US$ 10 Billion...) are just due to lack of preparation, lack of information, and lack of planning. You will also need to learn a lot of basic facts. (It can save a lot of time and money to use an experienced consulting company)
