Step 1: Create a New Project
Create a new project in VB.NET. Name your project CIS170A_Lab05.
Practically every real-world professional program in existence today uses some type of modular design—this is just the way programs are designed and built. As a result, the primary objective of this lab is for you to understand how modular programs are designed and how data are passed between modules as the program is executing. This may be one of the most important lessons of this course, so it is critical that you focus on the modular design of the program; if you have any questions, post them to the Lab Forum threaded discussion.
In this project, we are going to use the Week 4 Hockey Player Statistics program that you created last week as a starting point and make a few minor changes in the program requirements. What you will do is take the existing project and with only slight modifications to the form design you will modularize the design of the code and then add a few new requirements. As you .

IBM has substantial operations in many countries, including the United States, Canada, and Germany. Go to finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ibm.
1. Click on Historical Prices. (Or apply this exercise to a different MNC.) Set the date range so that you can obtain quarterly values of the U.S. stock index for the last 20 quarters. Insert the quarterly data on a spreadsheet. Compute the percentage change in IBM’s stock price for each quarter. Next go to finance.yahoo.com/stock-center/ and click (under U.S.) on S&P Composite 1500 Index, which represents the U.S. stock market index, so that you can derive the quarterly percentage change in the U.S. stock index over the last 20 quarters. Then run a regression analysis with IBM’s quarterly return (percentage change in stock price) as the dependent variable and the quarterly percentage change in the U.S. stock market’s value as the independent variable. (Appendix C explains how Excel can be used to run regression analysis.) The slope coefficient serves as an estimate of the sensitivity of IBM’s value to the U.S. market returns. Also, check the fit of the relationship based on the R-squared statistic.
2. Go to finance.yahoo.com/stock-center/ and click (under “Europe”) on DAX, which represents the German stock market index. Repeat the process described in exercise 1 so that you can assess IBM’s sensitivity to the German stock market. Compare the slope coefficient between the two analyses. Is IBM’s value more sensitive to the U.S. market or the German market? Does the U.S. market or the German market explain a higher proportion of the variation in IBM’s returns (check the R-squared statistic)? Offer an explanation of your results.

IT 510 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a System Proposal Document.
In any modern enterprise, it is crucial that all of the different stakeholders, users, inputs, and outputs that relate to the business’s IT systems coalesce in a logical
and cohesive way for the systems to be effective. As a member of an IT team, your overarching goal is to ensure that the IT systems ultimately do what the
business needs them to do. In this course, you have learned about the key principles and practices underlying the analysis, design, implementation, and
management of IT systems. In this final project, you will apply this knowledge by creating a systems proposal document.
The project is divided into four milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Module Two, Module Four, Module Six, and Module Eight. The final submission will occur in Module Nine.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Assess the relationship of systems analysis, design, implementation, and development processes as they relate to the management of information
technology systems
Communicate the paradigms, processes, and activities of systems development to diverse audiences
Apply structure and object oriented analysis modeling techniques to analyze, design, and manage information technology systems
Construct written and visual representations of the analysis, design, implementation, and management of information technology systems based on the
systems development life cycle
Prompt
You will select your own case study and will apply the content provided, describing the business process to complete the final project. Alternate sources for case
studies include the case studies found in the textbook with the exception of the Personal Trainer Case. You can additionally search the internet for business case
ideas.
You will complete an analysis of an existing information technology system and make recommendations for updates to meet business goals based on your chosen
case study. Your final submission will include an introduction, systems requirements, systems design specifications, and an implementation plan. All of the

Some potential topics for this week include:
The Supreme Court often makes final judgments on a wide variety of cases. How does their decision affect the legislative review of the law or statute that was involved in the final decision? Discuss some of the ramifications of this decision based on other social issues occurring at the time.
Presidential appointments to the United States Supreme Court impact the judicial philosophy of that body and the outcome of rulings. The first female member of the Court was Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Conner (1981–2006), followed by Ruth B. Ginsburg (1993), Sonia Sotomayor (2009), and Elena Kagan (2010). What impact will these appointments have on the judicial philosophy of the Roberts Court?

The case of Welcome Israel provides another opportunity to analyze individual and organizational approach to change(s) and the impact of those changes. The case provides a synopsis with Ofra Sherman and Glaxo’s situations as the change was unfolding between these two firms. As you reflect on the change in this case study, respond to the following prompts as you prepare your DB thread for this assignment:
What did Glaxo-Welcome do? What should they have done?
Did Ofra Sherman do the right thing? What would you have done?
What was Ofra Sherman’s predicament? How did she get into it?
How do you evaluate her actions as described in the case?
RESPOND TO THIS POST FROM FERGUSON
Wellcome Israel is a pharmaceutical company operating in Israel. Wellcome is being acquired by Glaxo and soon will become Wellcome-Glaxo. This appears to be a hostile bid type takeover to create a large pharmaceutical company. All employees and management were extremely surprised by the takeover and are having a hard time processing it. The main them and problem that will be noted in this post is the lack of communication, direction and vision.
Glaxo-Wellcome is on the way to becoming one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. There is an apparent hostile takeover in progress that no one including Wellcome management is aware of. As with any change there are periods of uncertainty, fear, and anxiety. The main focus is a general manager Ofra Sherman and her team who works for Wellcome Israel through Promedico. This takeover was done in a manner that is very disturbing in the fact that there was no communication and very little guidance throughout the entire process.
What they should have done is really quite simple and that is communicate. As I mentioned before change is a very anxious time and can lead to stress and poor work performance for those involved. “Good communication throughout every stage of the change process is vital to keep everyone informed and motivation levels high.” (Kirke 2012) This takeover shouldn’t have been a surprise to Wellcome and they should have been upfront with employees about what was going to occur and then once the takeover by Glaxo started the communication should have ramped up. I think one of the best ways to have handled this would have been to have teams from both companies setting up meetings so there was a continuous flow of information.
Ofra Sherman in my mind was in a very tough spot once again a lack of communication between all the parties really left her between a rock and a .

You will accomplish several acid-base titration exercises to complete this Case Assignment at the following Virtual Laboratory website:
Strong acid versus strong base titration and weak acid versus strong base titration
http://group.chem.iastate.edu/Greenbowe/sections/projectfolder/flashfiles/stoichiometry/a_b_phtitr.html
First read the following article about pH indicators:
http://chemwiki.ucdavis.edu/Physical_Chemistry/Acids_and_Bases/Case_Studies/Acid_and_Base_Indicators
In this experiment you will be analyzing the neutralization between a strong acid and a strong base. According to the Arrhenius Acid-base Theory, when dissolved in water, an acid raises the concentration of hydrogen ion, H
+
while a base increases the hydroxide ion, OH
-
concentration. When reacted together the acid and base will neutralize each other according to the net ionic equation (1).
H
+
(aq) + OH
‐
(aq) → H
2
O(l) (1)
An acid is considered to be strong if it completely ionizes in water. In this lab, you will be using the strong acid, hydrochloric acid, HCl, to neutralize the strong base, sodium hydroxide, NaOH, according to the neutralization reaction below.
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H
2
O(l) (2)
The progression of the reaction will be observed using a pH meter and a titration curve will be created using the experimental data. You will start with a sample containing only the acid and indicator and slowly add your standardized base. A titration curve is simply a plot of the pH of an acid versus the volume of base added, or vice versa. The titration curve gives a good description of how an acid-base reaction proceeds. The pH will start out low and acidic, then increase as it approaches the equivalence point, where the concentration of acid equals that of the base. Then as the solution becomes more basic, it will slowly rise and level off as an excess amount of base is added. Note that the equivalence point is slightly different from the endpoint of a titration. The endpoint is when the indicator changes color. This does not always correspond to the equivalence point.
As pre-laboratory preparation it is critical that you review the ideas on strong acid-strong base titration presented in your class readings.
Strong acid versus strong base
With your first sample, select an indicator from the two options and do a quick titration by adding 1 mL increments until you reach pH 2.5; then dropwise increments until you reach pH 10.7; after that add 1 mL increments until pH 11.5. Record your buret readings after the addition of each increment. Allow time for the reaction vessel to become equilibrated and for the pH reading to become stabilized and then record the pH value in your notebook alongside the buret reading. Leave an empty column between the buret reading and the pH in which to place the volume of NaOH added (difference between present buret reading and initial buret reading). Stop the titration when you have reach.

SEC450 ACL Tutorial
This document highlights the most important concepts on Access Control List (ACL) that
you need to learn in order to configure ACL in CLI. This tutorial does not intend by any
mean to cover all ACL applications, but only those scenarios used in then SEC450
iLabs.
Introduction to Access Control List
A host-based firewall essentially works closing and/or opening ports in a
computer. The engine behind firewalls is built with Access Control Lists (ACL).
Network-based firewalls are implemented in device-specific appliances and
routers. Basically, firewalls in routers filter packets through interfaces to permit
or deny them.
Ports are layer-4 address specified in TCP/IP protocol suit that identify
networking processes running in clients and servers.
ACLs are configured using shell-specific commands. In Cisco IOS, CLI
commands.

Student Name Brief #5 Use of Audit Software Review and Survey.docxemelyvalg9
Student Name Brief #5 Use of Audit Software: Review and Survey Date
Central Message: Auditing has had to change from “around the computer” to “through the
computer” due to sources only being available in electronic form. CAATs and CAATTs improve
efficiency and effectiveness of audits. A variety of standards and statements were issued because
new guidance was necessary once the growth of IT affected the nature, timing, and extent of audit
procedures. Continuous auditing is the key to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of audits.
Author’s Theme: Auditors are advised to use CAATs to gather evidence so that they can increase
the efficiency of inspection and analytical review. One of the many statements released on IT, SAS
94, stressed that IT’s impact on internal control is a result of the nature and extent of the system’s
complexity rather than the size of the firm, which is why auditing through the computer is
important when testing controls. Auditors can pinpoint the risk areas and thus have a better idea of
what to inquire when questioning management; improving the quality of the evidence and thus the
audit. Importance: Advancement in information technology has a direct impact on business
processes and the audit. Increasingly, auditors are required to perform audits in computerized
environments; therefore, additional standards are required to ensure that financial statements
auditors continue to perform high quality audits. Conclusion/Opinions: (1) The author concludes
that auditing through the computer is important when testing controls because of the impact IT has
on internal control. GAAS field work #2 supports this because the IT system is a part of the entity’s
environment, and especially, when it is complex, the auditor must audit through the computer to
adequately assess internal control risk. (2) Using CAATs can increase the efficiency of audit
procedures. SAS No. 106 indicates that CAATs allow auditors to inspect electronic evidence directly.
(3) Auditors should use data analysis from audit software in order to pinpoint the risk areas and
gain a better idea of what to ask management. AS # 5 states that risk assessment underlies the
entire audit process, including the determination of significant accounts and relevant assertions,
selecting controls to test, and determining the evidence necessary.

1. Article Title, Author, Date and Source:
Transmission Unaccomplished, John Authers September 24
th
2010 Financial Times Page 12
2. Article Summary:
“Transmission Unaccomplished” written in the Lex section of Friday’s Financial Times
offers an interesting and simplified perspective of the complex and sophisticated purpose and
workings of monetary policy. At a time when the world is reeling from the effects of
misunderstood monetary policy in the United States and other nations around the globe, this
article clearly cuts to the heart of the matter, provides a simple, easy to understand analogy
relating monetary policy to an automobile. The authors describe the key moving parts of the
economy as they correlate to their counterparts in an automobile. While he labor and
resources constitute the fuel of the economy, technology and institutions correspond to the
engine, and commerce is depicted as wheels. The financial system is the transmission,
responsible for moving the power and energy created by the fuel and engine to the wheels.
This simple analogy helps frame the context for the reason why central bankers – the
transmission mechanics – were facing increasing difficulty. In particular, the 1.6 % drop in
the dollar’s value, the lack of real economic turn-around, and the lagging increase in GDPs
around the world. The authors seem to think the US, despite an increasing saving rate and
10% deleveraging, still has long ways to go on the road to recovery, and the automobile
analogy suggests, is in need of significant repairs and rebuilding before it is truly road worthy.
3. How is the article is related to the readings and class discussions?
The concepts in the article mesh with the readings in chapters 3 – 5 as a current, real world
depiction of how monetary policy influences decisions in economics. The article highlights the
need for central bankers to properly manage monetary policy in order to maintain the
transmission of the vehicle, and keep the proper amount of power moving from the motor to the
wheels. It questions the true value of quantitative easing, and highlights the ramifications of
pursuing excessive QE as a policy. Just as was discussed in the first five chapters of the text
book, monetary policy involves a delicate balance of adjusting interest rates, setting currency
value, and establishing guidelines that enable prosperity and growth. The article also identifies
too much intervention as a possible means for enhancing the problems we face, rather than
ameliorating the problems.
4. What did I learn from this article?
This article certainly helped put monetary policy, something I seem to be familiar with only
through studying politics and economics, into a very concise, easy to understand framework that
enables a deeper understanding of greater associated issues. I learned that the US liabilities are

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

today uses some type of modular design—this is just the way
programs are designed and built. As a result, the primary
objective of this lab is for you to understand how modular
programs are designed and how data are passed between
modules as the program is executing. This may be one of the
most important lessons of this course, so it is critical that you
focus on the modular design of the program; if you have any
questions, post them to the Lab Forum threaded discussion.
In this project, we are going to use the Week 4 Hockey Player
Statistics program that you created last week as a starting point
and make a few minor changes in the program requirements.
What you will do is take the existing project and with only
slight modifications to the form design you will modularize the
design of the code and then add a few new requirements. As you
will see when you complete the modular program design you
will be able to add the new requirements to the design algorithm
much more easily.
One very important point is that the logic used in the modules is
virtually identical to the logic used in the Week 4 assignment,
with the only major difference being that the code has been
moved into sub procedures and functions. However, this comes
at a price because the communication of the modules becomes
more complex; however, the gains in efficiency in creating the
original program and then modifying the program when
requirements change (as they always will) outweigh the
negative effects of communication complexity.
Step 2: Program Description
4. As a reminder here are the requirements of the Week 4 program.
Create a program that will calculate and display the career
statistics for a hockey player. The program will begin by
allowing the user to enter the following information.
· Name of the hockey player - The name must be a nonempty
string.
· Number of seasons played – The number must be at least one
season and no more than 20 seasons.
Only after a valid season value is provided, processing of goals
and assists can begin. The next step is to allow the user to
provide additional information as follows.
· Number of goals - A valid number of goals is between 0 and
60.
· Number of assists - A valid number of assists is between 0 and
60.
The program will keep a running total of the following
statistics.
· Number of goals
· Number of assists
· Total points
A list of the each season’s data will be display after the season
data are provided. Additionally, once all the season data are
collected, the program shall list the summary information for
the player and all the seasons.
NEW REQUIREMENTS
The following are the new requirements that the customer wants
5. to make.
1. The customer has decided that he or she wants to change the
upper limits for goals, assists, and seasons. He or she wants the
upper limit of the seasons to be 25, the upper limit for the goals
is 70, and the upper limit for assists will be 75.
2. As with most programs that collect names of individuals, the
full name shall be broken into two parts: the first name and the
last name. Both the first and last name must contain nonempty-
string values.
3. The customer wants to keep track of how old the player was
when he or she started playing hockey, so the program shall
provide a field to collect and validate the age of the player
when he or she was a rookie. The starting age shall be at least
18 years old and no more than 30 years old, and the age shall be
displayed as part of the summary output.
4. The user cannot begin to collect season data until after the
first name, last name, seasons, and age are all provided and
validated.
The updated hierarchy chart, which shows the structure and
flow chart of the program, is given below. Notice that most of
the processing details have been encapsulated into separate
modules. As a result, this makes the high-level processing flow
easier to understand and the lower level details of the
processing are isolated into smaller modules. The modules can
be reused as necessary when new requirements are added.
The hierarchy chart shows the events (which are just
“specialized” modules), which illustrates how the higher level
modules control the execution of the lower level modules. The
hierarchy chart also shows the isolation of modules, which is
another key characteristic of modular designs. Also notice from
6. the hierarchy chart that there are multiple levels of modules in
each tree branch. For example, the Gets Status Button Event
handler branch has three sub-levels of modules. It is not
uncommon for real world, professional programs to have several
levels of modules in each tree branch.
The flow chart for the overall program and each of the modules
listed in the hierarchy chart are provided below. Before you
begin constructing your program, ensure that you review these
diagrams carefully and pay attention to the comments in the
call-out boxes. Also, it is highly recommended that you refer to
these diagrams often while you are building your program.
7. Step 3: Build the Form
The following is the Object, Property, Setting, Event chart for
the form controls, and each input field will have a label/input
field pair. Also, group the related information in the associated
group box.
The form and form controls will be logically placed on the
form, the controls aligned and sized, and a logical tab order
assigned to each of the form controls.

9. Exit
You are free to experiment with colors and form design as you
see fit. However, your application must meet the listed
requirements.
Hint: Use constants for the lower and upper limits for the goals
and assists. This will allow you to easily change the range
limits in one place (see below). For example:
Private Const GOAL_LOWER_LIMIT As Integer = 0
Private Const GOAL_UPPER_LIMIT As Integer = 70
Private Const ASSIST_LOWER_LIMIT As Integer = 0
Private Const ASSIST_UPPER_LIMIT As Integer = 75
Private Const SEASONS_LOWER_LIMIT As Integer = 1
Private Const SEASONS_UPPER_LIMIT As Integer = 25
Private Const PLAYER_MIN_AGE As Integer = 18
Private Const PLAYER_MAX_AGE As Integer = 30
Hint: Declare the seasons, age, total goals, total assists, and
total points variables as “form-level” variables at the top of the
form and outside any module body. This will make these
variables form-level variables and they can be accessed by any
of the modules without having to pass them into the module
through the argument list.
Private totalGoals As Integer = 0
Private totalAssists As Integer = 0
Private totalPoints As Integer = 0
Hint: An event handler can handle events from multiple
controls, which allows you to modularize and reuse event
handler code. For example:
Private Sub txtName_Validating(ByVal sender As Object,
10. ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs)
Handles _
txtFirstName.Validating, _
txtLastName.Validating
Dim txtbox As TextBox = CType(sender, TextBox)
e.Cancel = ValidateStringInput("Name", txtbox.Text)
End Sub
Hint: Use the “sender” argument of each event handler to
inspect the control that fired the event, but you need to convert
the “object” to a textbox first, such as:
Dim txtbox As TextBox = CType(sender, TextBox)
e.Cancel = ValidateStringInput(datadescription, txtbox.Text)
Hint: Use the “IS” operator to see which control fires an event;
for example:
If sender Is txtNumSeasons Then
‘process the number of seasons
ElseIf sender Is txtAge Then
‘process the age
End If
Step 4: Implement the Event Handlers
Use the following as the design for your event handlers,
referring to the flow chart for rules on input validation and
processing. The final calculation SHOULD NOT be completed
until all the input fields are validated.

Check your output to ensure that you have space(s) where
appropriate. If you need to fix anything, close your execution
window, modify your code as necessary, and rebuild.
Step 6: Deliverables
1. Capture a screen print of your output (do a PRINT SCREEN
and paste into an MS Word document).
2. Copy your code and paste it into the same MS Word
document that contains the screen print of your output.
3. Save the Word document as
CIS170A_Lab05_LastName_FirstInitial.
4. Zip up the Word document along with a complete set of
project files into a single document.
5. Place deliverables in the Dropbox.

Overview
Japan is the land of peace and harmony that continues to evolve
in a positive unification of tradition and modernisation. With its
elaborate and colourful history and culture, Japan has formed a
distinct model of hierarchy, honour and etiquette that is still
reflected in many social and business practices today.
If your organisation is planning to conduct business with Japan,
potential success depends upon an understanding of this
culturally influenced protocol. Japanese culture - Key concepts
and values
Wa - The most valued principle still alive in Japanese society
today is the concept of 'wa', or 'harmony'. The preservation of
social harmony dates back to the first constitution in 604 AD
and the teamwork needed when living and working on collective
farms. In business terms, 'wa' is reflected in the avoidance of
self-assertion and individualism and the preservation of good
relationships despite differences in opinion. When doing
business with the Japanese it is also important to remember the
affect of 'wa' on many patterns of Japanese behaviour, in
particular their indirect expression of 'no'.
Kao - One of the fundamental factors of the Japanese social
system is the notion of 'face'. Face is a mark of personal pride
and forms the basis of an individual's reputation and social
status. Preservation of face comes through avoiding
confrontations and direct criticism wherever possible . In Japan,
causing someone to loose face can be disastrous for business
relationships.
Omoiyari - Closely linked to the concepts of 'wa' and 'kao',
22. 'omoiyari' relates to the sense of empathy and loyalty
encouraged in Japanese society and practiced in Japanese
business culture. In literal terms it means "to imagine another's
feelings", therefore building a strong relationship based on trust
and mutual feeling is vital for business success in Japan.
The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw Japan swiftly
embrace the numerous influences of western technology.
Following the country's defeat in WWII, Japan experienced a
remarkable growth in its economy and fast became the world's
most successful export. Since then, Japan's business and
economy has witnessed a wavering of strengths, however today,
Japan is one of the world's leading industrial powers with a
new, stable and exciting business market open to foreign
investment and trade.
Japan business Part 1 - Working in Japan (Pre-departure)
· Working practices in Japan
· Due to the strong contemporary business competition in Asia,
the old concept of the 'unhurried' Japanese negotiation process
is no longer applicable. Decisions are made swiftly and
efficiently.
· When arranging a business appointment, making a personal
call will be more effective than sending a letter and seen as
good manners.
· Punctuality is essential in Japan; lateness is as sign of
disrespect. Arriving 5 minutes prior to an appointment is good
practice.
· Structure and hierarchy in Japanese companies.
· The strong hierarchical structure in Japanese business is
reflected in the negotiation process. They begin at the executive
level and continue at the middle level. However, decisions will
often be made within the group.
· Generally speaking, in business meetings the Japanese will
line up in order of seniority, with the most senior person at the
front and the least senior person closest to the door. In addition
to this rule however, you may find that the most senior person
chooses where to sit.
23. · It is important to bear in mind that in contemporary Japan,
even a low ranking individual can become a manager if his or
her performance is good.
· Working relationships in Japan
· Due to the influence of Confucianism, it is important to show
greater respect to the eldest members in Japanese business
culture. Age and rank are strongly connected, however a change
in today's business climate means that educational background
and ability are often considered over age.
· Personal space is highly valued in Japan due to the densely
populated areas in which they live. Physical contact, other than
a handshake, is never displayed in public. Japan business Part 2
- Doing business in Japan
· Business practices in Japan
· Business in Japan cannot begin until the exchange of business
cards or 'meishi' has been completed. Use both hands to present
your card, which should be printed in both languages. On
receiving your counterpart's business card make a show of
examining it carefully before placing it on the table. It is
important to deal with another's business card with care.
· A significant part of former Japanese business protocol was
gift giving. In contemporary Japanese business culture, although
not expected, the gesture is still practiced and will be accepted
with gratitude. However, be careful not to take too big a gift as
it may be regarded as a bribe.
· It is good business practice to engage in small talk before
negotiations. Expect your Japanese counterpart to ask questions
regarding your education, family and social life. More private
questions are not acceptable.
· In Japanese business protocol contracts are not necessarily
final agreements or a sign that business in over. In Japan,
looking after partners or clients even after business is very
important. Aftercare and long-term relationships are positively
encouraged.
· Japanese business etiquette (Do's and Don'ts)
· DO use apologies where the intention is serious and express
24. gratitude frequently as it is considered polite in Japan.
· DO avoid confrontation or showing negative emotions during
business negations. Express opinions openly but evade direct or
aggressive refusals.
· DO greet your counterparts with the proper respect and
politeness. If your counterpart bows make sure you return the
gesture, which is usually performed shortly and shallowly. More
often than not, a handshake is sufficient.
· DON'T give excessive praise or encouragement to a single
Japanese colleague in front of others. Remember that the group
is often more important than the individual.
· DON'T address your Japanese counterpart by their first name
unless invited to do so. Use the titles 'Mr' or 'Mrs' or add 'san'
to their family name; for example, Mr Hiroshima will be
"Hiroshima san"
· DON'T use large hand gestures, unusual facial expressions or
dramatic movements. The Japanese do not talk with their hands.
