“Books about doing business in Japan are, if not exactly ten a penny, then fairly close to it. A good many of them are penned by so-called “experts” but when it comes to the final analysis, it turns out they have been produced by people who’ve briefly lived and worked in the country (sometimes not even that) and have seized the chance to write up a formulaic prescription for “business success.” Now and again a book comes along that speaks from direct experience. Nick Johnston has produced just such a book. It is authoritative, accessible, and authentic. A must read. By Ian de Stains OBE, British Chamber of Commerce in Japan executive Director 1987-2011; author of The Business Traveller’s Handbook to Japan
