In 2012, the EU-Japan Centre carried out a Survey of EU SMEs on their Internationalisation towards Japan (Source: In Search for Growth: Towards a New Role for SMEs in EU-Japan Relations, EU-JAPAN CENTRE FOR INDUSTRIAL COOPERATION 2013). The obstacles most often mentioned by respondents (126 European SMEs) were:
Language barriers (55%),
Difficulty to grasp business practices,
Costs,
Difficulty in understanding the local laws or regulations,
Conforming to Japanese standards.
So, you have a “Homework” to do when approaching one of the most dynamic and challenging market in the world. Of course, you should and you could start reading a couple of books/papers about Japan (you will find some resources on the “Publications” Page of our website http://www.gbmc.biz), as well as taking part in various cross-cultural training seminars (which we also offer at GBMC) or executive training programs.
However, there is a quicker way to kick off your “Japan Project”. If you are a business executive of a company:
approaching the Japanese Market,
reviewing its options in terms of Japan Entry Strategy,
already exporting to Japan (Indirect Sales) or,
already established and doing business in Japan (Direct Sales).

Many export managers have experienced over the years in which way Time, Quality, Reactivity and Service have another dimension in the Country of the Rising Sun. The interest of Japan Success Stories lays in what they usually showcase, that is, Persistence and Concepts like “Getting to know your Client” or “Adapt and Change”, more than in the very results achieved.
