  • Ashwin Krishna

摘要

Japanese business culture has been one of the driving forces behind  the country’s sustained economic growth in the late-twentieth century. This growth has set the tone for investment in a globally leading education, health and infrastructure system. This chapter seeks to understand the transmission mechanism: what are the unique aspects that make Japan’s business culture consistently successful, regardless of political and economic transitions? Primarily using the concept of Nemawashi, the chapter attempts to  conduct a systematic literature review, with corresponding empirical evidence to demonstrate that these methods have been successful. While many studies have previously focused on a particular case study, this  chapter establishes cultural aspects at an overall level, which is necessary to make broad research inferences. Finally, the chapter strives to understand how these cultural learnings can be beneficial for India, in context of its own business environment. Bilateral trade between India and Japan has reached US$22.8 billion in Financial Year 2023–24, necessitating the exchange of business culture as well. Thus, the Indo-Japan economic relationship is constantly referred to in this chapter, to make meaningful suggestions.
