Today that role has shifted more to generating revenues (Segil, 2004). The purpose here is to review Ohmae's (1989) article for concepts that have persisted in today's business environment.

Americans and Japanese Working Together
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the difficulties of a potential joint venture between a Japanese and an American company. As with much of life, the true "secret" most likely lies in reaching a comfortable middle ground where companies of both countries take the best the other has to offer. In any case, being familiar enough with each others' ways of doing business that intelligent decisions can be made about what is best practice means that the customs and goals of each must be known to the other. The Japanese and Americans can work well together, as long as definitions of idiomatic terms are included with the negotiation documents. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
