Summary

This product is a 30 page tutorial providing you with some major elements of how to prepare and how to conduct negotiations in an international setting, and in particular with Japanese negotiation partners. Our tutorial can give you a very efficient preparation to improve your negotation skills and know-how when facing a well prepared Japanese (or any other) negotiation team.
Commercially available negotiation training has changed little over the past 30 years. Even "win-win" or "win-win-win" (we win, you win, the customer wins) negotiating models are far from understood or accepted on a global scale. Communication styles are different in different cultures. The Japanese group dynamic warrants consideration. The Japanese attention to detail, documentation, timeliness and other factors affect negotiations. Japanese individuals and groups also have the patience to wait out almost any situation.
While this tutorial is written from the perspective of negotiating with Japanese partners, lessons learnt from negotiating with Japanese partners can be applied to many international negotiations.
The methods and strategies of the "negotiation system " introduced here, were developed through direct experience in negotiating technology licenses with major Japanese corporations, and by observing the negotiation behavior of over 200 Japanese negotiators - all experienced Japanese business men and women from major corporations - in complex simulated negotations for training and research under laboratory like conditions.
While negotiating is considered a personal skill, unified systematic approaches such as introduced in the present tutorial will contribute to improve your negotiation performance, provided you take the time and make the effort of thoroughly preparing for your negotiations. The present tutorial will help you to prepare and plan upcoming negotiations in a systematic and well thought out manner based on long years of experience and experimentation and study of Japanese negotiation behavior.
