1. Write down the difference between international
Vs global business? And what are the benefits of
globalization?
International vs. global business
Most of us assume that international and global business are the same and that
any company that deals with another country for its business is an
international or global company. In fact, there is a considerable difference between
the two terms.
International companies Companies that deal with foreign countries for their
business are considered as international companies. They can be exporters or
importers who may not have any investments in any other country, apart from

Communication style
It is difficult if Japanese
language is not known. The
combination of vagueness and
lack of understanding of the
language results in problems
which make decision-making
very difficult. Body language is
very minimal and hence
difficult to read for an
untrained observer. The
Japanese sit in a formal upright
posture and look still. Visibility
of reaction or emotion is rare.

Discrimination towards
women in the
workplace still exists.
Women are assigned to
perform lower grade
tasks. Women from
western countries
working in Japan
probably face
difficulties working with
Japanese male coworkers.

Business dress
code
The Japanese
mainstream
business follows a
conventional
business dress
code of dark suit,
shirt and tie.
Business dress
must be
restrained and
formal for women.
In business,
women do not
wear trousers.
