On July 15 2021, we held our **'Decoding Asian Business Cultures' webinar **and it was a resounding success with a great turnout and a lively Q&A. 

Each of our speakers provided informative **insights **into how to navigate the region’s lesser-known cultural quirks to do business successfully in China, Japan and Korea. For example, did you know that: 

- ... in China, **WeChat** has replaced email? And that knowing what generation your customer belongs to will help you predict their negotiating style?
- … in Japan, trust and **relationships** are vital? And you need to **do your homework**: writing your slides in the taxi to the meeting could be a big mistake
- … and in South Korea, following formal protocols that **recognise the seniority** of your customer contacts may be vital to sealing the deal?
