Amo helps top managers and government agencies to eliminate the frustration that arise from communication issues to ensure a smooth sourcing for Japan-quality Industrial products like fasteners and a smooth negotiation with Japanese local manufacturers to obtain the best possible terms/price.
(1) Parallel Business Customs
We align your focus and point of departure (meetings/presentation) to Japanese business partner. The nature of good communication by Japanese partners and western counterparts are strikingly divergent and as a result, pre-alignment is essential.
(2) Parallel Chain of Communication
The chain of communication in business of Japanese managers is often parallel to western counterparts. It might be very challenging to get clear explanations and answers. We ride on the right wavelength with Japanese business partner using our developed communication wheel.
(3) It’s difficult to know if you are in agreement
The Japanese have a preference for working with tacit knowledge. In simple terms, westerners stress “content” while Japanese stress “context. Our intercultural knowledge integrator will bridge the gap.
(4) No decisions are being made
Personally, Amo knows this can be very frustrating. Most business meetings in Japan are more about decision confirmations than decision making. We recognize and appreciate the Japanese decision making process and we have developed a knowledge sharing document to address it.
(5) Once we have made our presentation and leave, we honestly don’t know what is going to happen now
Trust as perceived by Japanese business people is strikingly divergent to how the western counterparts would describe trust. To a Japanese partner, Trust is omoiyari (to be considerate,, communicate closely and share knowledge, to have compassion and to share goals.
But to a western partner, Trust is based on a perceived or known competence for the carrying out of given tasks. We have a knowledge sharing document that address it.
We manage the communication between Japanese business managers and Foreign business managers until the product is delivered and keeps a long-term relationship with your Japanese business counterparts.
We work around the clock to source Industrial products and coordinate deliveries for our customers.
We work relentlessly with our partners and manufacturers to attain quality result.
We supervise the exportation process of the assigned manufacturer (like ocean/air freight to meet requirements including for US Customs & Homeland Security).
We ensure a reliable delivery of your products on time every time.
The mission of N.T Amo & Son is to source, negotiate directly with manufacturers, export & deliver Industrial goods such as fasteners to customers. We interview manufacturers and only give the project to the highest quality manufacturer that meets ISO 9001, PPAP, IMDS, Statistical Process Control and/or 100% optical sorting at a reasonable price. Our range of products meet international standards (ISO, IFI, DIN, BS, JIS).
