Japanese business

It was interesting to hear from Professor Peck's lecture that Japan was initially very closed off to the idea of foreign workers. I wonder if that perspective will continue to change in 2020 and beyond as more and more opportunity rises.  Although Japan may be very efficient in the way they get their work done, it was interesting to learn how negotiations take more time and are considered with more thought and care. I would love to witness a negotiation take place and how people in the meeting room maintain silence and how their eye contact and mannerisms may change.
