Japanese decision making and what we can learn

Japanese decision making - how is it different?  What can we learn?  This is a short little presentation at the Canterbury Employers Chamber of Commerce on doing business in Japan.  I lived in Tokyo and Osaka for 5 years and worked two of those years within a very large Japanese trading house so this episode contains some of the key things I learned.  In particular, I talk about the concepts of Nemawashi and the Ringi system of decision making.
