Ways of communications: Japanese businessmen value “face” pretty much. They do not like to have conflicts in a public place. They usually communicate with people in an indirect and tactful manner. The way they express themselves is mostly clear and understandable. However, some replies which sound affirmative may be negative in reality. Such indirect communications may mislead their rivals. Once Japanese agree to a proposal and make their decision, it would be very difficult to change. They often stick to their arguments. Changing a decision requires the agreement reached by all of the members taking part in the negotiations.
