Publisher's Synopsis
No company can afford to ignore Japan -- as a market, as a source of up-to-date products and technology, as a possible provider of funds, and as a competitor. This book is an essential reference guide for commercial companies thinking of doing business with Japan or needing to monitor Japanese developments in a particular industrial sector. The guide lists the key sources of Japanese business information (organizations, databases, and printed publications) and provides information on how to find them.
Contents include:
* advice on making contacts with the Japanese,
* directory of organizations providing information on Japan, and
* detailed lists of English language information sources on Japanese business (printed and online).
The information sources include sources of company, market, and product information; sources on standards, statistics, and regulations; guides to doing business in Japan, to Japanese business activities outside Japan, and to the Japanese economy; key periodicals and newsletters; and selected Japanese/English language dictionaries.
