With cane in hand, take precautions before the fall
Services offered by Japan Australia Consulting Services are not limited to those of commercial nature.
Through long experience of assisting English speaking and Japanese speaking people, Ling has a hands-on experience of what area both Japanese and Australia companies and people have to be careful about.
Based on this, it is fair to say, assistance from Japan Australia Consulting Services can offer an advice not to get into trouble, “Korobanu saki no Tsue” (With cane in hand, take precautions before the fall), as well as an assistance to achieve what you want.
Education
Numbers of students in Japan who wish to study abroad have been increasing as more companies want to have globalised employees with English speaking ability.
More companies in Japan now employ staff from other countries, and the ability to if just studying in Japan, and the practical solution is to study abroad.
Universities, high schools and other vocational schools, any of them who wish to expand the horizon for their students can rely on advice and assistant offered by us.
Through the experience while working for Bond University and Bond University English Language Institute as the Overseas Marketing Director, listening to and giving advice to students, parents, teachers, etc., advice and assistance Ling can offer are practical and useful.
When a student of Bond University English Language School was hospitalised due to Meningococcal disease, contacting his mother in Japan, organised her and elder brother’s visit, and following up until recovery, all these were done through Ling’s assistance only. When this brother mentioned about his eye sight problem, an introduction to an eye specialist was organised by Ling as well, and his problem was eliminated. After this, over so many years, the mother kept sending Ling a gift regularly.
Ling has been regularly offering a talk to visiting students from various universities in Japan as well as those who are already in work force. The are assisted to study at Griffith University by ICC, an organisation in Japan. While the length of stay of these students differ, Ling’s talk based on her own experience dealing with many students from Japan has been highly regarded as most practical and useful experience for these students.

Businesses
There are abundant, unique and valuable know-how and technologies in Japan which can be introduced to Australia to develop a commercially viable business.
This could be done by a Japanese company only, but, joint venture could be considered. We can say the same applies to companies in Australia. Negotiations are indispensable, and this is where we can utilise many years of experience working as a co-ordinator in both Japan and Australia.
Around mid 1980, a Japanese company was involved in residential development on the Gold coast. They paid the closest and most careful attention in drawing up a contract, but, omitted the final check before signing. Due to this, they did not notice the most important page was deleted. President of that company was so angry saying that he would never get involved with business in Australia.
Another case which took place just recently. Three companies, from Japan, Australia and an European country were in the middle of forming a joint venture to start a project in Japan. When the agreement was almost ready to be signed, they learned a regulation of Japan which they were not aware of, and they contacted us how they could solve this problem. It is impossible for Japanese government to change its law, and they had to accept the fact that all the time and efforts so far became nothing.
This is exactly “When you are in Rome, do as the Roman do.”
When you are trying to set up business to offer products and services in overseas countries, what you consider common sense in your country becomes obsolete, and this is where Japan Australia Consulting Services can offer the most adequate advice and assistance.
