Direction of India’s trade was towards Europe and the US markets because of its cultural and colonial past and this become the one reason behind the low trade between India and Japan. Direction of India’s trade results into stagnant trade between India and Japan without exceeding the US$4 billion mark before 1990s. This stagnation in the economic relationship between India and Japan was finally broken when India board on major economic reforms by liberalizing the country’s economy and adopting an open-door policy that led to a gradual acceleration of bilateral business relationships between both countries.

In the early 1800’s, Japan had blocked off all trade from other countries. Foreign whaling ships could not even reload or repair their ships in Japan territory. This offended many other countries. In 1852, Matthew Perry was sent to Japan to negotiate open trade. Japan felt threatened by the United States, and gave in to their demands. Japan was frightened by their stipulations, and immediately began to reform. They developed a new education system that was similar to America and Europe’s. They also developed a Western style judiciary system.
Japan is currently in an economic recession. We can see that the value of the yen is falling; unemployment is rising, and purchasing of durable goods is down. This unhealthy state of economy has progressively become bleaker over the years.
Government administration says its plans to cut the corporate tax rate to levels common in many European and Asian economies will help attract more foreign direct investments in Japan, while persuading Japanese firms to invest more domestically. But what will count in attracting more foreign investments in Japan will be the effort to make the market here more attractive. One avenue of such effort lies in free-trade agreements which, by expanding regional trade and increasing inward investments, can drive up the nation’s growth potential. The Japanese government’s program for promoting imports and investment takes the form of discounts and tax reductions, loan guarantees, and loans at reduced rates. It also takes the form of assistance for foreign exporters wishing to import into Japan. Reasons a country should choose to invest in Japan include: being the third largest economy, having one of the highest purchasing power in the world, being a leader in high technology and R&D, and entering the Japanese market facilitates entrance to other Asian

In the year 2007, China and India ranked first and second respectively in the list of ideal foreign direct investment (FDI) destinations, according to A T Kearney, a global strategic management consulting firm (The Press Trust of India Limited, 2007a). The two nations, because of their similarities in geopolitical, economic and demographic aspects, are often compared with each other. To determine which one is more attractive for businesses to expand to, this essay will examine the business environment of both countries from the following perspectives: political/legal, economic, socio-cultural and technological.
The key to doing business in Japan is establishing strong relationships. According to Haru Yamada, a linguistics professor at the University of Westminster in London and the author of Different Games, Different Rules, “Present yourself as a trustworthy person who is sensitive to Japanese interests. Ask some non-sales related questions about their company. By shifting your focus from the product to the relationship, you will consider it the most interesting part of doing business and don’t consider it an effort at all. It’s part of figuring out who you’re dealing with, and how familiar with the West you counterpart is. Japanese people are deeply proud of traveling. Get them to tell you about their trips. Then you can start to gauge their familiarity [with the West] and get a good sense of how good they are at telling you what they’re thinking, directly, as opposed to the indirection that the Japanese are famous for. The Japanese are like emotional bonds with people.” When doing business in Japan, they are very formal. Yet there are some aspects of business etiquette in Japan that are similar to those of the United States. When in a business meeting, the Japanese expect for you to wait to be seated because they have a custom on which party sits on which side of the table. It is also important to take a lot of notes from the beginning of the business meeting to the end. A huge “must have” in the Japanese business society is carrying a business card, meishi. You must present the card with both hands to the most senior member and so on down the corporate ladder. It is considered rude if you put the card in your pocket or wallet. You must keep it on the table in front of you during the meeting. If you were to receive a business card, yo...
Japan, home of some of the largest multinational technology corporations in the world, has been influenced in myriad ways through globalization. The effects of globalization on Japan provide valuable insights into the transformation of Japanese society. Global processes have increased wages and homelessness, strengthened environmental management programs, shifted governance towards regionalism, and threatened linguistic diversity in Japan.
In order to understand bilateral trade relation between India and Central Asia and its potential the Gravity Model was used. The gravity model is a simple model that has been extensively used to study bilateral trade patterns and determinants. The main objectives of model are the GDP of countries and distance between countries. The GDPs of the two countries represent the size of the economies that indulge in bilateral trade. In the country of export, the GDP reflects the output of the economy and acts as a proxy for the production capabilities. In contrast, GDP represents the income in the importing country. It denotes the size of the market for commodities - countries with a higher GDP are likely to have a greater demand for goods in the international market. In its simple form, the gravity model suggests that bilateral trade between two countries is directly proportional to the GDP of both the nations and inversely proportional to the distance between them.
Japan is an island country located in eastern Asia. It is a small country compared to the other countries in the mainland. Despite its size and location, it is a very developed country.

The growth of U.S. investments in India has increased, but the country still remains a small destination for foreign U.S. investors. So, we know that U.S. views India as a growing nation compared to U.S. foreign investors so, the U.S. is considered a significant source of FDI in India. However, there are things that might increase the importance of India for U.S. firms looking for foreign investment opportunities. The multinationals firms in U.S. facing increased labor costs can invest in India due to its large, well-educated and English speaking workforce. India and U.S. share about their economic and trade issues and both are members of WTO, IMF and World Bank.
