The economic success of the Asian Tigers resulted from their own efforts. Each country largely followed the Japanese model of export-led development: they began with exports of the cheapest products, educated their citizens so that they would be knowledgeable workers, and then increased the value of the products that were being exported. Today, South Korea, for instance, is the home of technology giants Samsung and LG, both of which have benefited immensely from government policies that promoted education. Singapore, meanwhile, has become a global trading and banking hub-another example of expertise in a high-value industry.

It examines Japan's foreign investment figures, top investing countries and sectors, and procedures for foreign investment.
The document discusses the impact of global integration on economies and societies. It notes that globalization has integrated regional economies through increased trade, capital flows, technology diffusion, and cultural exchange. The document outlines both positive and negative impacts of global integration, including increased competition lowering prices but also millions of job losses as companies shift production overseas. It then discusses factors favoring and inhibiting India's globalization and the relatively mild impact of the 2008 economic recession on India. The stock market declined due to reduced foreign investment while the rupee fell against the US dollar and capital flows reduced. However, rural demand remained robust and exports are a modest percentage of GDP, insulating India. The conclusion is that globalization can improve efficiency if Indian firms adopt new technologies
Exports play an important role in Pakistan's economy by creating employment, contributing to economic growth, and reducing the current account deficit. However, Pakistan has not achieved its full export potential, particularly in textile and garment exports, due to security issues deterring visits by Western buyers which are necessary to develop new fashion products. While Pakistan has a competitive advantage over countries like Bangladesh in factors of production, its inability to address security concerns means it is missing out on opportunities to increase exports and reduce the trade deficit.

This document summarizes an economic briefing given by Cielito F. Habito, Ph.D. to the Ateneo Graduate School of Business on June 4, 2013. The summary includes:
1) The Philippine economy has shown signs of improvement in recent years based on key indicators like inflation, unemployment, and GDP growth, but still lags behind other Asian countries and inequality remains high.
2) Growth is expected to continue being driven by government spending, private investment, remittances, and new economic opportunities. However, threats like fiscal problems in Europe, an appreciating peso, political instability, and failure to promote inclusive growth could undermine sustained growth.
3) Achieving truly inclusive growth that
The key demographic changes happening in Japan are population decrease and aging. There are two main reasons for this:
1. Low fertility rates. As fewer babies are being born each year, this directly leads to a decreasing population over time as well as population aging since there are fewer young people being added.
2. Increased life expectancy. While longer lifespans are a positive development, it also means that more of the population is surviving into old age, leading to population aging.
Together, low fertility rates and increased longevity have reduced Japan's population growth and caused its population to rapidly age over the past few decades. With very little immigration to offset these trends, Japan is experiencing both a shrinking and graying population. Addressing low

The APEC Summit is over for another year. Indonesia proved to be an excellent host, managing the logistics of the event very smoothly (they built a whole new airport and toll road to coincide with the occasion). They also managed to achieve some tangible outcomes from the Summit - which in itself is impressive - from a Summit that many critics deride as a talking-shop low on substance. Journalists were also suitably impressed, receiving free massages as well as free food. To top it off, the President of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, even surprised President Putin, (and everyone else), by picking up a guitar and singing a birthday serenade to the Russian President. No one can say Indonesia was not a hospitable host!

SELECTION OF COUNTRY
The country we have selected is JAPAN (Tokyo). And the reason behind selecting Japan is
“the three windows”, the advantages offered by japan to foreign companies when investing in
their country (1) Innovation Hub, (2) Business Platform and (3) Trendsetter.
Currently, the world's eyes are on Asia. Japan is full of business opportunities due to its
strong ties with this rapidly developing region. In Asia, Japan is recognized as a leading
centre for innovation, boasts highly attractive business and living environments, in terms of
safety, medical services, etc. (JETRO)and is one of the world's largest economies attracting
increased global attention for its "soft power".
EVALUATION OF COUNTRY ON HOFSTEDE’S CULTURAL
DIMENTIONS (PAKISTAN VS. JAPAN)
Pakistan is located in ASIA, with population of 178.9 million (trading economic).
Religions: Muslim 97% (Sunni 77%, Shi'a 20%), Christian, Hindu, and other (Inc. Sikh) 3%
(kwintessential). Official languages: Urdu is the only official language of Pakistan.
Currency: Pakistani rupees. The literacy rate of Pakistan is 56%. Pakistan is collectivism
based society only 14% (washington.edu) population prefer individualism. The power
distance is high 56% (washington.edu) which means there is vertical organizational structure
found in Pakistan. The uncertainty avoidance in Pakistan is low people don’t secure their
investments through insurance and paper work. There is 50% masculinity and 50%
femininity found in Pakistan (geert-hofstede). There are less investment opportunities
available in Pakistan because of weak economic conditions.
Japan is located in the EASTERN ASIA, with population of127.5, million (trading
economic). Religions: Shinto and Buddhist 84%, other 16% (include Christian 0.7%)
(kwintessential). Official language: Japanese. Currency: Japanese yen. The literacy rate if
japan is 99%. Japan is collectivism based society only 46% (washington.edu) population
prefer individualism. Vertical organization structure is found in japan which means power
distance is high 54% (washington.edu). The political system of japan is stable that is why
uncertainty avoidance is high (92%) people always prefer to secure their investments through
insurance and a lot of paper work. There is 92% masculinity and 8% femininity found in
japan (geert-hofstede). There are more investment opportunities available in japan because of

ENTRY STRATEGY:
We have selected the entry strategy of Exporting.
REASONS FOR SELECTING THIS STRATEGY:
By selecting this strategy we can avoid substantial costs.
Exporting is an excellent way to enjoy pure economies of scale with products that are
more "global" in scope and have a wider range of acceptance around the world.
(export help)
One good reason to begin exporting is when the domestic market becomes saturated.
(export help)
The global market is a highly competitive place. (export help) So it’s an opportunity
for us to improve our product quality & performance and become more efficient in
order to compete in the international market.
7. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
Page 6
CHOSSING A STRATEGY
After entering in Japan our strategy to compete international in Japan is the international
strategy. We produce carpets in our country Pakistan (hone country) and then sell to Japan.
REASON:
The reason for selecting the international strategy is that there is low pressure for local
responsiveness and also low pressure for cost reductions so it is beneficial for us.
STAFFING POLICY:
We select ethnocentric strategy approach according to the international strategy. An
expatriate will live in japan and make contracts on behalf of Usman Carpet House.
RATIONALE FOR THIS POLICY:
The manager /employee who work as expat will be well aware of companies’ culture that’s
why this strategy is most preferable.
ECONOMIC FACTORS
Economically Japan is one of the most highly developed nations in the world. Japanese
economy – the third largest in the world. (yale global online)Japanese brand like Toyota,
Sony, Fujifilm, and Panasonic are famous across the globe. (kids web japan)Japan and
Pakistan have good trade relations. Japan imports large amount of carpets from Pakistan. As
the demand of carpets increased in Japan so it’s become a great opportunity for us to expand

These are some factors which affect our business like if we see the consumer spending that is
about 313940.60 billion yen in Japan that is greater than spending in Pakistan which is
7990018.00 million rupees so it is beneficial for us to export our carpets to Japan. Another
factor is interest rate that is 0% in Japan as compare to Pakistan is 10%. If we see per capital
GDP of Japan that is also greater then Pakistan is $34,740.One important factor is the tariff
rate of Japan that is 1.6% favourable for us. So it’s more beneficial for us to expand our
business in Japan because there are more chances for us to generate revenue.

MANAGING THE POLITICAL RISKS
In order to manage the political risks we select mixed technique which is a mixture of
integrative, defensive and protective, and proactive techniques.
COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS IN JAPAN AND HOW TO
OVERCOME THESE PROBLEMS:
We being a corporation named “Usman Carpets House” going to export hand knotted carpets in Japan
(Tokyo) and there are many kinds of communication problems that may be faced by our managers in
Japan in order to communicate with Japanese dealers, because Japan is a country with its unique
values, traditions and customs. While doing business in Japan we need to understand the areas such as
business culture, business etiquette, and negotiation and meeting protocol.
CULTURAL PROFILE OF THE HOST COUNTRY (JAPAN)
RELIGION:
Observe both Shinto and Buddhist 84%, other 16 %( including Christian 0.7%)
LANGUAGE:
Japanese is the sixth most spoken language in the world, with over 99% percent of the
country's population using it. Amazingly, the language is spoken in scarcely any region
outside Japan. Dialects are used in areas, particularly in Kyoto and Osaka, but standard
Japanese, based on the speech of Tokyo, has become more popular through the use of
television, radio and movies.
EDUCATION SYSTEM OF JAPAN:
The education system is a very important element which forms history and culture of Japan.
The Japanese educational system is a very strong instrument for their national politics and
cultural constant. Academic achievements of their students are higher and fitting to the
international standards. Goal of education is to try to make real Japanese ideal, which would
harmonize individual happiness with work for government and society.
SOCIAL STRUCTURE:
A largely homogeneous society, Japan does not exhibit the deep ethnic, religious and class
divisions characterize many countries. The gaps between rich and poor are not as glaring in
Japan as they are in many countries, and a remarkable 90% or more of Japanese people
consider themselves middle class. Most groups are structured hierarchically. Individual
members have a designated rank within the group and responsibilities on their position.
12. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
Page 11
Seniority has traditionally been the main qualification for higher rank, and socialization of
young people in Japan emphasizes respect and deference to one’s seniors.
JAPANESE ETIQUETTE AND CUSTOMS
MEETING ETIQUETTE IN JAPAN:
Greetings in Japan are very formal and ritualized. It is important to show the correct amount
of respect and deference to someone based upon their status relative to your own. If at all
possible, wait to be introduced. It can be seen as impolite to introduce yourself, even in a
large gathering. While foreigners are expected to shake hands, the traditional form of greeting
is the bow. How far you bow depends upon your relationship to the other person as well as
the situation. The deeper you bow, the more respect you show.
GET GIVING ETIQUETTE:
Gift-giving is highly ritualistic and meaningful. The ceremony of presenting the gift and the
way it is wrapped is as important sometimes more important than the gift itself. Gifts are
given for many occasions. The gift need not be expensive, but take great care to ask someone
who understands the culture to help you decide what type of gift to give.
DINING ETIQUETTE:
Remove your shoes before entering and put on the slippers left at the doorway. Arrive on
time or no more than 5 minutes late if invited for dinner. Unless you have been told the event
is casual, dress as if you were going into the office.
TABLE MANNERS:
Wait to be told where to sit. There is a protocol to be followed. The honoured guest or the
eldest person will be seated in the centre of the table the furthest from the door. The honoured
guest or the eldest is the first person to begin eating.
BUSINESS ETIQUETTE AND PROTOCOL IN JAPAN
RELATIONSHIPS & COMMUNICATION:
The Japanese prefer to do business on the basis of personal relationships. One way to build
and maintain relationships is with greetings or seasonal cards. It is important to be a good
correspondent as the Japanese hold this in high esteem.
13. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
Page 12
BUSINESS MEETING ETIQUETTE:
Appointments are required and, whenever possible, should be made several weeks in
advance. Punctuality is important. Arrive on time for meetings and expect your Japanese
colleagues will do the same.
BUSINESS MEETING NEGOTIATION:
At a meeting you are always deal with a team because there is a proper team of Japanese in
meeting with particular expertise. So we have to confident enough to handle all questions we
receive. The Japanese are very detail oriented. Expect a lot of questions and these questions
repeated in different ways. Japanese like dealing with quiet, sincere and compromising
individuals.
CULTURAL BARRIERS:
The culture of Japan is much different from Pakistani culture so a lot of communication
problems can be faced doing business in Japan. Here are some areas which cover the whole
culture of Japan regarding doing business and also solutions which help us to overcome these
cultural barriers for successful business in Japan.
MEETINGS AND GREETINGS:
In Japan while doing business, we have to assess the Japanese people in very first meeting so
always maintain professionalism.
The bow is an integral part of Japanese culture and it is used when meeting, getting attention,
show sympathy or as an apology. While doing business in Japan as Pakistani, you would not
be expected to bow; you will most likely be greeted with handshake combined with a slight
nod of head. Introduce yourself with proper name and followed by your full company name
and when you want to address someone then use proper title.
GROUP ORIENTATION:
In Japan team work and group meetings are preferred and in this society individuals are
identified by social group. So being Pakistani we have to manage ourselves according to the
culture of Japan.
RESPECT:
Respect is the main component of Japanese culture and they conveyed respect through
language, behaviour, etiquette, body language and also through non-verbal communication.
14. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
Page 13
BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS:
When doing business in Japan a successful relationship with Japanese colleague or client or
dealers is based on three factors:
SINCERITY:
In Japan it means you understand, compromising and you want to conduct business at
personal level so we have to consider all these facts.
COMPATIBILITY:
Compatibility is established when you focus on good personal relations not only on financial
gains.
TRUSTWORTHINESS:
It relies to faith put in you to protect from loss face. So we have to build trust first then
relations will be strong. (kwintessential)
LANGUAGE BARRIERS:
While doing the international business if manager do not understand the language of host
country they may face a lot of difficulties in the settlements of their dealings. In Pakistan
mainly two languages are spoken, Urdu and English. English is one of the official languages
of Pakistan and is widely used in the documentation and all official work and Pakistani uses
the English language in doing business at international level. Whereas Japanese language is
much difficult to understand almost all people in Japan use Japanese language because they
don’t know English language except a few. Therefore before exporting in Japan we first
understand and learn the Japanese language then we can understand things in better way and
it also helpful in strengthen our relations with Japanese dealers.
PERCEPTUAL BARRIERS IN COMMUNICATION:
Due to above mentioned cultural and language barriers there is also problem of perceptual
barriers while communicating with Japanese dealers. Without understanding the language
and cultural barriers there are possibilities that what an exporter wants to give the message to
Japanese client, he is unable to understand. Due to cultural and language differences they will
perceive different things in different meanings that’s why first we have to overcome the
language and cultural barriers then we are able to convey our message in correct meaning and
Japanese also interpret our message in understandable way.

PAKISTAN-JAPAN BILATERAL RELATIONS
Historical links between the peoples of the two countries date back to pre-historic times.
Around 1930, a chair for Urdu language was established in Tokyo University and Tokushoku
University. Since then, the research on Urdu language and on people of the region started in
Japan.
Since the creation of Pakistan in 1947, the two countries enjoyed friendly relations. At the
1951 San Francisco Peace Conference, Pakistan was the only major country invited from
South Asia (as China was not invited, and India and Burma stayed away from conference for
their own reasons).
Since the establishment of diplomatic relations on 28th
April 1952, Pakistan-Japan relations
have progressed. Soon after the San Francisco Peace Conference, Pakistan was one of the
very few countries which opened their commercial office in Japan. Similarly, Japan opened
one of its earliest trade offices in Karachi. In 1952, Pakistan opened its Embassy in Tokyo.
Mr. Mian Ziauddin became the first Ambassador of Pakistan to Japan. In early 50’s Pakistan
was a major import destination for raw cotton for Japan. During the Korean War and in the
Cold War, Pakistan and Japan found themselves on the same side of the divide. During the
latter’s visits of presidents, agreement to start two projects on Yen Credits and Transferring
students were concluded. Accordingly, 80 Pakistani students were transferred to Japan,
mainly to Chiba University where they acquired Japanese language training and technology
skills. Yen Credits was established to deepen trading and economic relationship. According
to the Yen Credit contract, Japan accepted long repayment periods and Pakistan only bought
Japanese products. It was aimed to achieve two purposes, for Pakistan good products were
available at discounted price, and for Japan, its products were introduced in Pakistani and
other Muslim countries’ to use Japanese products but also established strong connectivity
between Pakistan and Japan.
Since 2001, Japan has also been highly appreciated of Pakistan’s vital role in the war against
terrorism. It excluded humanitarian assistance to Pakistan in the wake of 2005 earthquake.
Japan welcomed the 2007 return of democracy in Pakistan. Japan has also come forward to
assist Pakistan in its flood relief and rescue operations. It announced contributions for food
relief and rehabilitation efforts at the Pakistan Development Forum on 14-15 November
2010. Japan has tirelessly supported Pakistan on various fronts. (brief-histor-pakistan-japan-
relations)
Pakistan also expressed its solidarity and support to the government and people of Japan in
the aftermath of devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in March 2011. President
Asif Ali Zardari visited the Japanese Embassy to convey sympathies and express solidarity
with people of Japan. Two C-130 loads of relief goods were provided. Representing the
sentiments of whole Pakistani nation, members of different local outfit of Pakistani helped

the victims by providing them food, disposable water bottles and other relief goods and
voluntarily worked in the shelters. (brecorder.com)
Above mentioned the brief history of Pakistan-Japan relations it is realized that…… Both
nations have been sharing cordial relations over half a century now. Both nations’ people
have soft corn in their hearts about each other and helped each other in every difficult phase.
So Usman Carpets House don’t face any kind of difficulty in exporting carpets to Japan
(Tokyo) because both nations have good relations at govt. level, political level, economic and
also at social level.
CONCERNS FOR LOCAL COMMUNITY IN JAPAN
Environmental, Social, Educational and Political issues:
As we are going to export carpets in Japan (Tokyo), this activity does not raise any problem
that will affect the Japanese community.
First we discuss the social structure of Japan and there is strong believe that they run business
on basis of sincerity, good relations at personal level and much committed with their norms
and traditions so we are ready to establish good relations with them both at social and
corporate level.
Though the government of Japan is large and powerful, and plays a substantial role in the
lives of many Japanese, so we have to maintain good relations with the Japanese government.
Japanese people are much aware about using the carpets because they use carpets from door
to toilet means everywhere in homes, offices, hotels carpets are used in Japan.
