In what way do you consider that cultural differences between the Japanese and Australians have impacted on how this trading relationship was developed?
History teaches the people on how Australia was a country made up of immigrants who were mostly from Britain. The unwanted moved to Australia and tried developing it. The low class Asians also flooded Australia and it became more of a cosmopolitan country due to the mixed race. The Australians are known for not holding on to their past (Les 2012). With the population of Japan being over three times that of Australia, more food stuff is required in Japan. Japan is known for its advanced technology which has raised the lifestyles of its people. This means they demand for better food and not genetically modified foods. Having received a consignment from America which contained genetically modified soya meant for the animals, the Japanese were cautious because they needed the soya for human feed. Australia is known for their chemical free foods due to the favorable weather.
Japan is known for its discipline and strictness in whatever they do. The export manager knew well how to handle them by creating a relationship between them.

Both countries have had a close relationship because while Japan was providing for electrical equipment during cold weather, Australia was providing sheep wool for their winter fur coats. Australians have been known to work together without allowing power distance unlike Japan where the powerful are addressed with extra respect. Long-term orientation is a problem with the Japanese because they hang on to the past unlike the Australians who live for the day (Brewer, Sherrif 2007).
Do you think the way in which the exporter in this case has developed and maintained this trading relationship is representative of Western exporters in general who wish to trade with Japan?
The manger in this case came up with a special strategy which is not a representative of all western exporters. This is because he made sure he had a contact resident in Japan who would research on Japans interest at a close view. He also made a mental note that it was up to him to take long flights to Japan in order to assess the situation there and see how the production is done making sure it is free of any chemicals. Most of the exporters do not go to that length.
The manager also welcomed the buyers from Japan to the farms in order for them to see what transpires on the farms (Les 2012). This definitely confirms…

Treatment Plan: The treatment plan should include medication for high blood pressure and diabetes. Indeed, according to some evidence, the long term usage of diuretic antihypertensives to reduce the presence of excess salts in the body can help to lower blood pressure. (Klatt, 1) Given that the subject of this discussion also suffers from an elevated risk of myocardial infarction, the danger of cardiac arrest or general heart failure is of greater concern than the presence of
