Decision-making Process Because great importance is attached to harmony, most decisions at Japanese companies are reached by consensus. Often information is first exchanged at informal get-togethers, sometimes over drinks in a bar. While foreigners often consider the decision-making process slow, action is swift once the decision is made. At times you will need to exercise patience and wait until everyone agrees on the same course of action. Avoid criticizing or contradicting your boss or colleagues in front of people who are from outside the company.
Punctuality is also extremely important.
