Recently the news about the Japanese car recall have drawn my attention. How have things gone wrong in these cases? Japanese car manufactures must have many international staff as well as American management. While they continues to be the leading car manufacturers in the world, their approach to this incident was so typical Japanese. And it caused misunderstandings and confusion in American users. This recall itself might not have been so bad if their highest management decided to appear in public earlier and open all of the information they have on the possible technical problems.
This is an article to show what is the typical Japanese decision-making process and the how different it is from an American one. The intention of this article is to point out the difference, not to evaluate or criticize.
In many cases of my involvement of international business, a Japanese company had been in this critical situation, even it was clear that Japanese made a mistake, they could not change their attitude and decision. Thus it resulted in either losing a huge business opportunity or it would make their counterpart so angry that they would not be able to further pursue the business relationship they had originally intended on.
Instead, American companies seem to be more flexible in accepting their mistake and change their decision or business strategy, saving their own business opportunity and, most importantly, the relationship.
If we can accept our own mistakes, the actions we need to take are relatively simple. We accept we made a mistake, apologize, and propose a correction. American organizations are good at doing this sort of correction. This flexibility may come from a religious principle of forgiveness. People make mistakes. Once a mistake is made, being flexible is much better than to stick to the mistake and stubbornly lose everything.
Now on the other hand, the Japanese approach is based on the "save face" or "lose face" concept. Japanese people tend to hate someone who cannot consistently keep their promises. They regard it is losing face. So they try not to accept mistakes so that they do not have to break their promises and lose face. Even if they know they made a mistake, they do not want to accept it because they will lose face by accepting it.
And they try to hide it. Then they try to modify it in a way publicly unknown to save face. This makes the entire process of correction very complicated. In many cases the business decision priority would be shifted from saving business to saving face by hiding the fact that they made a mistake. The end result could be devastating. It is a simple fact that they are not so good at saying "Oops, we made a mistake. Sorry."
In answering my own question, I have to admit the Japanese are stubborn and not good at apologizing, when it comes to accept their mistakes.

Movement of Japanese Knotweed Material
It is likely that the burial of Japanese knotweed or contaminated soil imported from another site for the treatment or burial of the invasive weed or in order to meet a required Japanese knotweed burial depth, will present an increased risk of spreading the weed.
The use of tracked machinery on-site, during Japanese knotweed control, should be limited as much as possible until Japanese knotweed-infested areas have been cleared or cordoned off.
Irrespective of where the Japanese knotweed material is deposited pending Japanese knotweed removal, any site accepting Japanese knotweed contaminated soil or Japanese knotweed for treatment will require a waste management license and or a permit.
If site licensing conditions do not allow for burying or burning of Japanese knotweed contaminated soil on site, Japanese knotweed contaminated soil must be disposed of at an appropriately licensed waste management facility dealing with Japanese knotweed control.
Material containing any infestation of Japanese knotweed should be taken to a landfill site or other disposal site, licensed to receive Japanese knotweed and the landfill operator must be informed of the nature of the Japanese knotweed waste so that the Japanese knotweed can be disposed of appropriately within the site.
Japanese knotweed or any soil containing Japanese knotweed which is discarded is a controlled waste and should be accompanied by appropriate waste transfer documentation.
Japanese Knotweed is classed as a controlled waste and the duty of care with respect to Japanese knotweed waste will have to be complied with. You must ensure all Japanese knotweed removal off site is accompanied with a completed transfer note relating to Japanese knotweed removal and carried by a person authorized in Japanese knotweed removal, such as a waste carrier. Any disposal site for the Japanese knotweed waste would have to hold a waste management licence for Japanese knotweed removal.
Hauliers should not accept Japanese Knotweed infested waste unless they can guarantee Japanese knotweed’s appropriate legal disposal. If you are aware of waste producers who are failing to inform their hauliers of the presence of Japanese knotweed, or of hauliers who are knowingly disposing of Japanese knotweed infested material in an inappropriate manner, you should inform your local Environment Agency office.
Hauliers must also ensure that during the removal of Japanese knotweed material to a Japanese knotweed waste management site, vehicles do not carry Japanese knotweed-containing soils on the wheels or bodies and that the vehicle is suitably covered or enclosed to prevent escape from Japanese knotweed waster during transport. For small quantities of Japanese knotweed material, this may include sealing the Japanese knotweed material in black bags.
