With Respect to the Japanese

Why, in Japan, can't you blow your nose in public? Why can't you drink from a bottle of water? Why, when referring to yourself in conversation, should you point to your nose, not your heart? The second edition of With Respect to the Japanese answers all these questions and many more. Cutting to the heart of the cultural difference in decision-making, rhetoric, management styles and behaviour in the workplace, it examines the critical elements of Japanese-Western communication and offers constructive guidelines for establishing effective relationships both in and out of the office.
