...firm seldom ignores administrative guidance because other companies would consider that firm a pariah, and the government can easily tie up an offender's business in red tape. The whole system is made smoother because Japanese business and government chiefs understand one another: the flick of an eyebrow, the yes that is not really a yes, the small nuance of conversation that can never be written down. Comprehension comes because these leaders usually have the same roots of culture and class. Often, they have gone to the same elite schools and universities.
