Japan Expat Training
When you are sending in your people to Japan, before you spend a lot of money to relocate the person and sometimes his or her family, you will have to evaluate the candidate if the person has an adaptable quality potential with the sharp learning curve for the Japanese culture.
It may not always wise to just believe in and put too much confidence in self-confident non-natives' ability for the Japanese market, even when they have some good track records in Japan. When the industry is different, they may have a lot to learn and also when the people they will have to deal with are different, they may not be lucky enough to function right and handle things right.
It is not only the language but also experiences and skills to work things out in between the American company and the Japanese company, and they are essential components for an expat in Japan.
Sometimes the management or the counterpart in the US that need to be trained together with the expat candidate so that the assimilated expat will not be caught in the middle or wounded by a friendly fire in the future. The smart expat will learn quickly there and could be suggesting the best and right way that any Japanese could think of to cope with the situations, but such a suggestion could be one of the most ridiculous things you would think of if you do not understand the Japanese ways. The continuous Japanese mentorship program to cover the entire span of the residency that your expat and also the management can turn to should be a great program for the success of your expat in Japan.
