similar in their formalities and dress, where Japan is very unique in theirs.
Some examples of this include:
These are only a small few examples of how Japanese social behaviours
differ from the Australian and English. If business communications were to
occur between Australia and Japan, it is essential to remember what is
appropriate and what is not. This also applies to the clothing that will be
sold in Japan. Japanese women are expected to wear minimal accessories
and appear very conservative. They are also not allowed to wear highheeled shoes so that they can avoid towering over Japanese men. In
Australia and England these are not big issues, but in Japan, special
considerations have to be made.
Regarding religion in countries, there are not many considerations that
have to be made to accommodate the needs of religious followers. The
dominant religion in England is Christianity, which is also the dominant
religion in Australia. Japans national religion is Shinto. Fortunately for both
religions, there are no requirements or special rules to follow regarding
the communication between countries. Christianity is a religion that is
very non-invasive and religious gatherings such as churches, are on
Sundays. Sundays in many cases are non-business days so there is no
way that that can impact the business. The same goes for Shinto. There
are no formal requirements in communication between the two parties.
Shinto followers often simply visit shrines and pay their respects. This is
also done in free time so ultimately religion is not a big issue in the
expansion of Charlies Formal Clothing to other countries.
The final comparison to be made is of the different Political and
Economical situations in the respective countries. Australia is run by a
single Prime Minister that is elected by Australian citizens. This is a
democratic format. Japans Government is a Constitutional Monarchy. This
Government is divided into three branches: the Executive branch, the
Legislative branch and the Judicial branch. Japan has an Emperor but he
has no real say in anything regarding running the country. That is all done
by the Prime Minister that is appointed by the Emperor. Even though the
Emperor is the one to appoint the Prime Minister, it is the Diet that
designates the person for the position. The National Diet is part of the
Executive branch of the Japanese government. Englands government is
also a Constitutional Monarchy but there are many things that are
