Abstract

This paper aims to clarify the importance of cross cultural business communications literacy for Japanese companies during cross boarder M&A and Post Merger Integration(PMI). Cross boarder PMI’s communication is extremely complex compared with ordinary communications because of its unique process and its inclusion of three different cultures; different cultures of the countries, different corporate cultures, and different cultures created by opposite positions as acquirers or acquires. Given the uniqueness of Japanese organizational culture, its communica- tion will be labyrinth. The case studies of researcher’s actual experiences and reports about Japanese cross boarder M&A researched by Japanese Government, METI1) in addition to previous researches illustrate the importance of cross cultural business communication literacy for the Japanese companies during cross boarder M&A and PMI process.
