In it, he argues that Japanese companies emphasize a system of rules, and if those rules can\u2019t be applied to a situation, the response is often to change the rules and then deal with the situation. This contributes to the response in Japan being &#8220;almost always laggardly, incomplete and meek&#8221; and &#8220;public communication sparse&#8221;. He also adds that from the perspective of politicians and bureaucrats, dealing with anything related to non-Japanese is \u201cmore work, much more delicate, generates much more potential negative backlash and, even in the best cases, is not a career-enhancing move.\u201d<\/p><p>Make sure to read Timothy Langley&#8217;s latest feature in the Japan Times:\u00a0<\/p><p><a
