Companies buy the components and ingredients for their products from suppliers in many different countries to get best quality at lowest costs and sell their products and services to costumers all over the world. Because of this globalization it gets more and more important to learn and to know the special rules, rituals, and the way of thinking in a differtent culture, if a company wants to do business there.

The knowledge about the differences can and will build the first step to a successful relationship. This paper deals with the Japanese etiquette and ethics in business.
