Mujitsu and Tairaku's Shakuhachi BBQ

Hello everyone,
I am doing a project for a class and I need to learn about American's doing business in Japan.
Can someone describe for me the etiquette that one is expected to observe when meeting a potential client.
It is my understanding that there is a great deal more importance given to exchanging business cards than there is here in the US. Can you explain the process behind meeting a new potential client, exchanging business cards, negotiating contracts?
I need to learn about the business protocols involved in international business practices.
Thank you all for any help you may extend.

Damon,

Try this link: http://www.worldbiz.com/bizjapan.html

and this one: http://www.culturalsavvy.com/jp_etiquette.htm

and this one: http://www.howtodothings.com/careers/a1 … uette.html

and this one: http://www.journeywoman.com/msbiz/proper_protocol.html.

All these links were obtained by Googling 'business protocols in japan', and came up on the first two pages. There are quite a few more
as well, but some of these require payment for the content.

Google is our friend.

Thank you Edosan,
I have seen several of these sites and there is some good information, but I was hoping to get some personal accounts from those who have interacted with Japanese businesses.
