...rather than politics.
One of my favorite YouTube channels just released a lesson highlighting the difference between the way Japan and America approach business ventures, with Japan focusing on building long term relationships with customers and product sustainability as opposed to American model of the quarterly report card.

@mchill saidThey’re from 100 years ago not ancient Japan. Some flaws of the Japanese Zaibatsu business model include ridiculously long work weeks, never embarrassing or contradicting a superior and very high stress. Some of those 100 year old companies benefitted from slave labor as they provided the mechanization of Imperial Japan e.g. Mitsubishi, Mazda, Honda.

In some ways they are analogous to the German firms that built the Panzers e.g. Porsche, Krupp and Audi.
That’s commentary about the Japanese business model. But IDK whether that makes me pro or con in this debate.

@mchill saidI recall a question that was asked of business execs in many countries around the world. The question was “what is the best language to use for speaking with your world-wide customers?” Execs in nearly every country answered “English.” Not Japanese execs. Their typical answer was “the customer’s language.” Speaks volumes, doesn’t it?

@mchill saidBrilliant counterweight to capitalism’s manic pursuit of shareholder return.
