The Tokyo Chronicles: American Gaijin Reveals the Hidden Truths of Japanese Life and Businesses - Hardcover
Synopsis
For over seven years, Sieg ran Kodak's Tokyo operation and, with his Japanese colleagues, increased the business more than six fold. He presents a penetrating, insightful collection of 30 narratives which provides a unique perspective on the first-person challenges of understanding the interconnections between everyday Japanese life and their businesses. Takes readers on a visual tour of Japan covering such topics as how the importance of harmony in business is based on the ancient notion of communal rice farming, dealing with government bureaucracy and how finding a tennis court can become a significant exercise in politics.
