For this reason, many manufacturers of auto parts and medical devices which are intensely regulated turn to Japanese technology. There are more than 1.5 million medical tools today and every month, new tools are being introduced. This is a figure provided by the International Organization for Standardization or ISO. It is the group that certifies products and services as being accepted based on international standards. It’s why you often see companies proudly bearing their ISO certification as proof of quality. Not known to many, the standards used to critique consumer tools and specialized parts and equipment were partly borrowed from the standards of the top Japanese manufacturing companies including the metal press and stamping firms.
In the metal press technology of Japan, there is a set system known as DQ/IQ/OQ and PQ for medical devices. In a nutshell it identifies, tests the design (DQ or Design Qualification), installation (IQ or Installation Qualification), operation (OQ or Operational Qualification), and performance (PQ or Performance Qualification). If a medical device fails on one of these tests, it does not get certified which means medical companies, doctors, hospitals, and clinics will not buy the medical device.
Thus medical device makers turn to top-notch metal press companies to fulfill and help them pass the PQ and OP tests. It’s a long process which starts with studies, plan, parameters, testing, and determining consistency before even making it to the final stage of production. It’s a critical process with each component passing rigorous testing and analysis. In this arena, the famous remark in the movie, Apollo 13 holds true, “Failure is not an option. “

However, few months after the series of earthquakes occurred in the country, Japan has steadily rebuilding itself. Properties that were severely damaged by the earthquakes were quickly repaired. Nuclear radiations were contained as quickly as the rumors associated with it. The people of Japan, while still in mourn, are moving forwards in helping the nation back to its former glory.
If such a massive earthquake were to hit another country with a lot of nuclear plants, chances are the nation would be in doom. However, thanks to the advanced technology in Japan, nothing catastrophic occurred. It is an amazement at how strong Japan is as a nation and a country. The government of Japan realized that it being a nation within the rings of fire would be on constant fear of being hit by tsunamis or earthquakes. Therefore, a lot of research and development projects were being done to improve the technology.
The Japanese also realized how important it is to be good at civil engineering and a lot of them ventured into the anti-earthquake civil engineering program with the hope of helping their beloved country from being in a terrible state of destruction. It is also these skills in civil engineering that saved the nation from a more terrible fate that could land on the country. Instead of the minimal damages that they had, it might be much worse should their technologies were of little advancement.
We should all look up to Japan at how it has braced the terror that had hit them and managed to come out of it with grace and minimal damages. Nothing but amazement should be showered to this Asian country.

Japan’s ‘Triangular Legal System’, that is not seen anywhere else in the world, sets down financial accounting in Japan and the rules of reporting. Regulatory bodies like Commercial Code, Securities and Exchange Law, and Corporate Income Tax Law; each of these have its own needs to address their unusual aims, however, the 3 laws put forth authority on one another in different ways.

Commercial Code

Passed in 1890, initiated in Japan, this financial reporting system was developed after commercial code of Germany was familiarized towards tax collection and creditors. Ministry of Justice monitors and puts in force the commercial code. All joint-stock companies in Japan must arrange non-consolidated yearly monetary statements as per the CC rules and are bound to present these statements for an approval at the general annual stockholders meeting. Main goal of CC is to defend creditors by making sure that companies estimate profits for dividends to stock holders in a conformist way.

Securities and Exchange Law

Although, there are more than 1 million joint-stock companies in Japan, the Securities and Exchange Law (SEL) is applied only around to 2,600 organizations with stocks openly traded. The SEL needs revelation of non-consolidated and consolidated monetary statements not just when new securities are issued, but also during submissions of semi-annual and annual reporting.

Corporate Income Tax Law

Corporate income tax laws in Japan and its regulations make an important consequence on the financial reporting and profits dimension by restricting the amounts of definite tax deduction types. Examples of these certain deduction types may include; reduction of preset assets, allowances for non-performing loans and bad debts, and expenditures for worker severance indemnities and pensions. The primary purpose of Corporate Income Tax Law is to get hold of revenues generated by tax for the government. Companies mostly are not permitted to trace deductions for tax, although an increase in a liability or a decline in the worth of an asset has taken place from a financial point of view.

Although hotels have come a long way to cater for business travel, it still has that hotel feel and whether you are in Tokyo or New York – it all looks and feels the same. Recently corporate apartments and long stay hotels became a real good alternative and it really does offer a lot more. Therefore choosing the right place to stay, most importantly choosing the right Tokyo luxury apartment which can cater the comforts which resembles your home is very necessary. There are a number of reasons why corporate apartments are such a good option, such as:

(A) Price- Hotel costs can really add up quickly and the fact that its not tax deductible means that its a financial burden the business.  More the luxurious it gets, the more expensive it is. Corporate apartments on the other hand are much cheaper.

(B) Comfort- Space is a big issue when travelling is quite often on cards. Spending long hours on a crammed plane and then stepping into a crammed hotel room can take its toll. Corporate apartments are “real” apartments that offer a lot more space. It really is a home away from home.

(C) Location – While most hotels are very well located in central business areas, corporate apartments are usually just as well located. Often its in much livelier areas where there are urban neighborhoods. Hotels are usually in “cold and lifeless” parts of cities where nothing happens after the 9 to 5 is over. Urban neighborhoods on the other hand are lively and filled with people and a great vibe which can make the stay more pleasant. In Japan, Roppongi Hills, Shiodome, and Marunouchi are just some of the locations which have emerged due to these changes in neighborhood. Other than these locations, many luxury apartments are clustered around Ginza, in central Tokyo and one of the city’s wealthiest neighborhoods, and the adjacent districts of Nihonbashi and Marunouchi.

Some of the best luxury apartments from the viewpoint of staying in during a business trip are the Grand Hyatt in the Roppongi Hills complex, which is located in the far west region.  It also comprises of Mori Tower, a skyscraper packed with foreign firms and Japanese IT companies. The hotel has also become the spot de rigueur for celebrities like David and Victoria Beckham, and Leonardo DiCaprio and other Hollywood movie stars attending the Japanese premieres of their movies, which invariably take place on a red carpet in the Roppongi Hills Arena. Another similar luxurious apartment is the Park Hyatt Tokyo.

So you need to decide what it is you actually need, even if that means owning several bags for different purposes.  This is better than owning one bag that doesn’t really fit any purpose well. Let’s look at some of the options available.

The Classic Briefcase: this piece of luggage has become the iconic symbol of the office worker everywhere from Tokyo, to Wall Street. Anyone seen carrying a brief case can be assumed to be coming or going from the office or a meeting. Modern day brief cases no longer have the sharp lines and corners of their predecessors, instead preferring to have more sleek and curved designs. Leather is still very much the option of choice if you want better quality. If you are on a budget, ballistic nylon is a great option.

Messenger style bags have become much more widespread and popular over the last decade, especially in Japan, where having your hands free as you go in and out of train station gates is very useful. The wide variety of messenger bags available means that they can be worn with a business suit or a more causal style and still look professional.

Holdalls, like the name suggests, can be used to carry a large amount, ideal for a business weekend away. Allowing you to take everything you may need for a conference or series of meetings without the need to take a full suitcase.
