Japanese Culture

To be supervisors and managers and use Americans and Mexicans as workers?
Since Americans can’t think for themselves.

You need to stop using the illegal drugs. they are making you hallucinate.

Japanese and German citizens are generally poor managers, expect much more money and much more time off than American managers.

Essentially you would go bankrupt very quickly in a competitive environment in America if you dependend on German and Japanese managers.

If you had ever run a business you would know that.

I am Japanese landed in Canada 15 years ago.
I owned and ran a restaurant in Vancouver for several years.
I am looking for serious investors for Japanese catering service (shidahi-bento).
It is like a luxurious Japanese lunch box .

Where can I get an investor for my Japanese bento(lunch box) business?

If you have a solid business plan, complete with marketing strategy and projections (and no problems with credit), then start by setting up an appointment with your bank’s small business representative – if your numbers are believable then they’ll probably lend you even more than you think.

I want to apply for an International Business Studies and Japanese course in University. Having only one year left of 6th Form at school, and no time to study the basics of the language itself, would I be able to apply straight away? Or will they teach the language from scratch, or would they expect me to know the basics already?

You don’t need to know Japanese beforehand to study Japanese. It would be unfair of the university to require this.

I’m about to be a senior in high school and i’ve started learning japanese and I want to learn korean would it be smart to get degrees in those then an MBA in international business?

It sounds very smart!! I completed a degree in Business (International Trade) with a major in Japanese and it was fantastic for my career. I ended up working in Japan for over 10 years and have found that it has been a life changing experience.

I am focusing on a five year business program, but I need to choose a language to go with it. I feel that Japanese would be great because of all the economic relations we have with Japan.

Personally, I’d suggest Japanese, but I’m biased. I’m Majoring in Japanese with a minor in business. To learn enough Japanese in order for it to be useful in business would require at least three, maybe four years plus time speaking it naturally to other people. Same with Chinese. Though the business opportunities in both those countries are great. I love Japanese, but it can be tough. If you think you can handle both, go for it. Otherwise, a European language wouldn’t require learning a new writing system.

Hi,

Im interested on opening an import business,a business on importing JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) Engines/parts to the USA.

my question is,What time of engines should i bring?what type of parts?

Would you think this will fail in central Florida and then later on in Miami?

Thanks

what we yahoo experts think is not important; you must do market research;
you need to find out who is doing it now and what you will do differently to
capture part of THEIR market share.

His business is a pharmaceutica l/ drugstore

His business will need to be of a certain size and capital to be able to sponsor work visas for foreign employees. The best way is for HIM to go to Immigration Office and ask immigration officials directly in Japanese abut proper business licenses and immigration requirements.

Yahoo boards is not the place to be seeking legal advice.

Yes.. People look at price when they buy cars..Most people don’t care where the car is made..
Look at Walmart. Almost everything in their store is made in China yet people shop there because they have the lowest prices.

I’m still not finished with university I’m presently studying Business Administration. This is just for the near future since I’ve been always interested in Japan.
I’m American. English is my first language.

I don’t have any degrees, but I drive taxi on the Yokosuka Navy base for some extra pocket money. Retired Navy living in Japan. P.S. I also have a Japanese wife and two houses, but no degrees.
