Japanese peace treaty
Japanese firms may be very competitive but they also understand the virtues of collaboration. At a recent press conference by Sony, the company’s managing director started his presentation by pointing out that both Sony and Nikon were supposed to have press conferences at the same time. “But we realised many of you cannot be at the same place at the same time … Since the MD of Nikon is a very good friend of mine, we sat down and found a way out. They have shifted the conference to an hour and a half after ours. So you can attend this presentation in peace, ask questions, and then head for the Nikon conference.” Nikon, for its part, arranged coaches to facilitate the transit.
