Research & Analysis
JaM utilizes cross-cultural insights to conduct in-depth research and analysis. In additional to standard research, we provide ethnographic research, helping companies with new product development for both US or Japanese markets.
For qualitative research, we provide online/offline research, as well as industry conference reports, and deliver results to fulfill research objectives.
Ethnographic Research: A method of research where people are recruited from the target population that meets research criteria, with videotaped interviews done in-home. An “anthropological” method that involves trying to understand people’s lifestyles, values, and behavior through observation and listening. Ethnographic research with cross-cultural insights is one of JaM’s greatest strengths.
Business Development
We do business development in US and Japanese markets for finding partner companies and identifying potential customers, navigating the sensitive business culture differences, particularly in business negotiations.
With the knowledge of different business culture and processes in the US and Japan, JaM develops business strategy that is relevant to each client, and serves as the client’s representative to negotiate with potential partners and customers.
Based on JaM’s cross-cultural knowledge, JaM offers seminars and training to help companies do business between US-Japan markets.
Seminars
We offer seminars and speak at various business events in Japan, covering topics on the latest trends in US business and marketing. These highly popular talks give a real insider’s view of US society, economy and culture to the Japanese audience.
