Explain the nature of the challenges that Australian firms are bound to encounter when conducting research in Japan and India. How can researches mitigate the impact of these challenges

- Difference in Language

- Differences in cultures

- Differences in moral standard.

Explanation:

- Difference in Language

Difference in language will make it difficult for the researchers to communicate with the research subjects. The likelihood of subjects not doing something required by the researchers is pretty high, this might prevents the researchers from getting the data that they want.

- Differences in cultures

Difference in cultures will influence how the researchers should approach the people in Japan and India. Some things that might be seen as common in Australia, may be seen as polite by the people in Japan or India.

For example, Japenese people might expect others to bow politely when first approach them and make an introduction.

- Differences in moral standard.

This can derive from historical event or major religions in each countries. This might limit the type of research that can be done in each country.

For example,

Australians wouldn't be able to conduct research on what type of beef taste the best because Hindu community considered cow as sacred.

In order to mitigate the impact, researchers need to conduct a background research on each country before gathering their subjects. They need to follow all the proper etiquette when they communicate with the people.
