The original Japan-US Business News blog will be linked here and used as an archive only. I find that a lot of what I was writing about between 2008-2010 in terms of Japan and its technology infrastructure still applies today. Going forward, I am incorporating the blog here as a page on my company website.
To restart the blog after a very long hiatus, I teamed up with my associate, Susan McCormac of Japan Culture-NYC, one of the leading English-language resources for Japanese culture in New York City to write a series providing tips and guidelines on working from home (WFH) to assist her subscribers/social media followers as many are having to quickly shift to WFH as necessitated by the COVID-19 crisis.
Please follow the series as it provides strategies to help us all as we get used to this new normal.
The articles are in English. I am in the process of getting the series translated into Japanese.
Here is a list of the articles on Working from Home. Please visit JapanCulture-NYC to access them.
