| NOTA |
(★)(This book is an introduction to Japanese culture, custom-crafted for the American reader. It is specific exclusively to Japan and may be applied nowhere else. Our observations are based on the distilled knowledge of men and women with years of successful overseas business experience, people who have succeeded where others have failed. Their practical expertise has been augmented and reinforced by our own knowledge and experience. Don´t be surprised if some of the ideas seem strange to you or possibly even insignificant at first. If so, be wary, for many of these topics which may seem unimportant to Americans are frequently the things to which they should pay the closest attention.／ From the author of the classic best-seller ´The Silent Language´ and his partner, Mildred Reed Hall, here is a straightforward and fascinating examination of the unstated rules of Japanese/American business relations. The Halls draw upon 165 interviews with top American and Japanese executives to identify the hidden cultural traps of East-West communications.／ Among the many topics discussed in this illuminating volume : ◎How to respond to a ´yes´ that doesn´t really mean agreement／ ◎How fast-message Americans can learn to decipher slow-message Japanese／ ◎How to promote harmonious interaction by learning the Japanese corporate culture／ ◎What you can do when things go wrong／ ◎How to evoke the right response during meetings, presentations, even during a night on the town with Japanese businessmen／ ◎How to relate to your Japanese employees and earn their loyalty and respect／ Exploring not only ´how´ but ´why´ the Japanese think the way they do, ´Hidden Differences : Doing Business With the Japanese´ provides invaluable insights for all Americans who want to succeed in the Japanese business world.／ ◆Anthropologist Edward T. Hall, a pioneer in the field of nonverbal communication, is also the author of ´The Hidden Dimension´, ´Beyond Culture´ and ´The Dance of Life´.／ Mildred Reed Hall specializes in the application of anthropology to intercultural problems. They live in Santa Fe, New Mexico.／) |
