Understanding cultural differences and overcoming language barriers are some

of the considerations people should have when dealing with a business with people of

various cultures. If you are interested to do a business globally or learn about cultural differences,

here is a good example of the negotiation between

French and Japanese businessman.

Let's take a look

Punctuality is treated very casually in

France but not in japan, Japanese people

are always on time

Sorry guys, I am late

French always shake hands when meeting someone,

as well as when leaving. While the customary greeting in Japan

is the bow.

In Japan, business cards are called meishi. Meishi should be printed in Japanese

on one side and English on the other.

Japanese examine the card carefully

as a show of respect.

In a business situation, business cannot begin until the meishi exchange process

is complete.

For some French people, small talk usually takes place

at the beginning of a conversation with a new partner

they have just met.

Never interrupt the French directly in the middle of their

presentation, it is better to wait until the end of presentation to talk.

After dealing with Japanese, signing manifested by ceremonial meetings or

exchange of gifts.

That is an example video about business negotiation between

French and Japan. As you can see there are a lot of cultural differences presented in this video.

So make sure to learn about the country's background and culture before you meet them

to show respect to the business partners.

Often business deals are lost because the

partners involved did not take the time to learn about each others' cultures

prior to interact. By knowing and understands about their culture, the business deals will hopefully run

smoothly and well.

Well I hope you enjoy the video

and see you soon.
