Networking in Japan, how does it work? At first, a big book can be written about that topic. It is not possible here. However, here are some aspects, we learned. After a seminar a networkparty will be celebrated, normally 2 hours - with finger food (very delicious one), beer, wine and softdrinks of course. "Play business cards" is the name of the game or seriously spoken, share your business card with your speaking partner...so often, so much, you can do! Talk, learn more about your speaking partner, listen to its experiences, keep in touch with.... etc. In Japan it is necessary to participate on a networking event. In Germany- from my prospective - it is the same, but sometimes not written on the agenda. One of such networking for German Japanese Business Relationships is the Symposium of the DJW - Deutsch-Japanischer Wirtschaftskreis - 日独産業協会 . Today we joint this very nice and top-class symposium in Tokyo that is called: smart city becomes reality. Please look at our pictures. For more details, please contact me via DM. #German #Japan #djw #International #sales #jetro

Gesehen auf der PCIM Europe Ice Ice Baby…. Roboterarm in Aktion Robo-Gelateria! Die neueste Erfindung des Engineering Teams. Auf der PCIM Europe hatte ich das Vergnügen zu bemerken, dass sich erstaunlich viele Besucher am Mouser Electronics Stand aufhielten. Es war sehr beeindruckend zu sehen, wie sich die Besucher vor dem Stand drängelten, um die Demos zu filmen. Cool, ein Roboterarm serviert ein Eis, sogar mit Streusel! Das Engineering Team hat es nach langer harter Arbeit geschafft, den Roboterarm die Fähigkeit zu übertragen, Aufgaben mit erhöhter Geschwindigkeit schnell und punktgenau zu positionieren und sicher zu steuern. Diese Technologie rationalisiert nicht nur den Betrieb, sondern steigert auch die Effizienz und Genauigkeit von Roboterarmen. Das ist wahrlich die beste Bestätigung für die großartige geleistete Arbeit des Engineering Teams. Wir, die OMB Vertriebsmanagement GmbH | OMB Japan K. K. gratulieren an dieser Stelle recht herzlich dem Engineering Team und wünschen weiterhin viel Erfolg! Chapeau!

A NEW SPRINGER BOOK:  Strategic Sales Management: Insights and Guidance from Top Interim Managers (English Edition)   Sales is a CEO's job, or at least it should be. But many entrepreneurs and executives come from other backgrounds-like law, production, or product marketing-or inherit the company. In most companies, a sales director is responsible for the operational management of the sales department. However, sales also needs to be considered strategically, in terms of the business, the products or even the target market, for which many entrepreneurs or sales managers unfortunately lack the time or even the knowledge.   In this book, experienced interim managers reveal the most important and necessary strategic methods and approaches to maintain and lead competitiveness for years to come. Readers will benefit from the first-hand insights of prominent and internationally experienced interim managers. Practitioners and MBA students in particular will benefit from these insights into what makes strategic sales management successful.   Chapter 3: Is international sales truly the most demanding field of business? No, of course not, but it does pose an enormous challenge for any company. To illustrate why, this chapter highlights the example of a business partnership between a German company and a Japanese company. When it comes to international sales, there’s no avoiding a systematic and structural analysis of the situation, the foreign market, and the competitive environment. Opportunities and risks must be identified and assessed in advance. For a company to succeed, it requires a carefully developed sales strategy and a business model tailored to specific requirements. The cultures of both the foreign country (in this case Japan) and the domestic market (in this case Germany) will greatly influence the development of the business relationship. In any internationalization campaign, these conditions and characteristics of the foreign market will always affect the international sales strategy.   THE OTHER AUTHORS After a foreword by Dirk Zupancic, Prof. Dr., these respected colleagues provide insights into their valuable work as interim sales managers:   Ulvi I.

Epilogue of our Japan Biz Trip: Due to many viewers of our last Japan - Blogs gave us a positive feedback, additionally would like to present a small summarize with some additional pictures we made there: 1. Japan biz trip: although we as Germans often think, Japan is so far away and doing business with Japanese is quite difficult..... NO! Even it is more than 13 hours by plane and it is difficult for Germans to read and speak Japanese, it's worthwhile to establish a business relationship. Such relationships end in reliable and long-term and successful relationships. 2. Japan's Cities: we visited #Tokyo, #Yokohama, #Kawasaki, #Kyoto and #Osaka. There are more of course, for business and tourisum, like #Nagoya, #Kobe, #Hiroshima and #Fukuoka. As a non Japanese it is very easy to go there, Englisch is sufficient. However, we see same SME company structure as in Germany (SME = KMU), in both countries the share is approx. 90% 3. Japan's Culture: It is not recognizable with a first view, but in case of business, in both countries people have similar mindsets and procedures. Let me describe it as follows: one is coming from the right, the other is coming from the left, but the approaches and objectives in the end of the day are the same. In private environment, of course, there are different in behaviors, in life style, etc. This is really good, in particular regards to eat and drink. But mostly, we can learn more about respect, politness and friendliness. We recommend to German companies to think about Japan business approaches and relationships, if you will expand your business abroad. If you find appropriate business partner, you will get a long-term successful biz. #german #japan #international #sales #djw #jetro
