Japan does business differently. Today kicks off a 4-part series on the Japanese approach to everything from product development to customer service — and why it all just…works.

We begin with Part 1, an exploration of the cultural attitudes and values that position Japanese entrepreneurs to succeed wildly.

…and no, you don’t have to be Japanese to do some of this yourself.

It’s all rooted in a different notion of what “success” actually means. For Westerners, the endgame is the primary focus, and everything you do on your way is a means to an end. But in Japan, the means is just as important — perhaps more so — than the end.

How does that translate into better business? Because consistency in your day-to-day efforts adds up over time, to something more than the sum of its parts.
