Challenges & Opportunities
Japan and Chile have distinct cultural norms, business visions, expectations, practices and communication styles.
Therefore acquiring a deep understanding of local business etiquette and protocols is beneficial for successful business interactions.
Additionally, direct business connections with the adequate local trustworthy experts are fundamental.
Often the cooperation between investors and advisors is superficial, predominantly in written form, leading to lower analysis efficiency, higher consultancy costs and missing detailed information that might be decisive for the business.
As a consequence, it creates uncertainty for management decision making, low client satisfaction and agreements that do not reflect the best conditions.
