Western Business Culture

The "English Business Manner" (a.k.a. Western Business Culture) workshop is for college students planning an internship with a foreign company in Japan or abroad who want to learn about and practice appropriate behavior to work overseas or in a domestic foreign company.

In Japan, words convey most if not all the meaning, but in the Western world, body language adds to the conversation. In Japan, the culture and custom of "words only" and the difference in mannerisms may be acceptable in Japan, but not in a Western country. You will learn the difference between these two environments.
