Full Description
Written for intermediate to advanced students of Japanese, this book focuses on the language used in real-life business situations, giving students both the linguistic skills and the practical information they need to conduct business in Japan. More than a guide to language and vocabulary, "Business Japanese" emphasizes critical thinking and cultural awareness. This book covers Internet and other technical terminology, numbers, and the phrasing of corporate documents. In addition to language elements, the authors provide a short course in the cultural learning that takes place when Americans do business in Japan, discussing topics such as interpersonal dynamics and communications styles. This book also uses the case-study method commonly accepted in business schools. Appropriate for content-based courses as well as the independent student, "Business Japanese" is not only an effective language text but also an intercultural handbook.
