2.2 SOCIETY & CULTURE
2.2.1 Politic & Society
The Japanese government is democratic and modern, with a long history of stability There has been significant dissatisfaction with the state economy But the government has the necessary reforms are made to solve problems such as the national pension system, unemployment, health care systems and mounting government debt Recently the Japanese government has been postponed and will cut corporate income taxes to boost the economy Furthermore, the legal system is reliable and the infrastructure business effectively The threat of a preemptive attack Japan's North Korea is a direct risk businesses in Japan must consider, however, the United States' unequivocal backing of Japan's security renders it highly unlikely
In addition, the intellectual property laws in Japan very well, "Intellectual Property High Court" in April 2005
Trang 11In conclusion, in order to limit risks of doing business in Japan, we may have some way to ensure safety For example, through insurance, we can not worry about changes in politics
or war In addition, to ensure that company complies with the law of Japan, the support from the professional attorney is essential Therefore political risk is very low in Japan
Japan's population is aging trend, the proportion of elderly in the population is increasing, the proportion of residents aged 65 and older accounted for 19.2% in 2005 The Japanese government said that the proportion of high this age will reach 40% in 2050

2.2.2 Culture
2.2.2.1 Consumer tastes
High requirement: Japanese consumers have the most rigorous requirements Consumers Japan set specific standards for quality, durability, reliability and usability of the product Japanese consumers not only high quality requirements, packaging guaranteed, sales service and good after-sales service, but also want to purchase with a reasonable price However, they can still pay for innovative products, good quality
Consumer trends change with the seasons When planning sales, businesses must consider the difference in the weather Favored the variety of products: goods have diversified models attracting Japanese consumers However, the Japanese often buy products in small quantities for their accommodation space is relatively small, and also to change accordingly equipped new models So the current scale of import tends to smaller and more abundant species
2.2.2.2 Drinking milk culture
Trang 13Recently, environmental protection consciousness of Japanese consumers are increasing The stores and businesses are removing the packing too much The packing of products were recovered and recycling
After taking out a box of milk, the Japanese don’t throw into the garbage bin Instead, they will peel 4 upper-under ("ear" of the box) and squeeze the milk carton down flat, then drop
it For big milk box, oversized (from 1 liter or more), the Japanese did the same as above, but in addition to the milk box cut out, washed and dried The milk box will be used for recycling, both an economical and environmentally friendly
Therefore our boxes of product need to ensure quality, environmentally friendly, recyclable
or biodegradable
