Our group used every mode of transportation that was available including walking.
Transportation is key to the market place and the world and Taiwan and Japan truly understand how to get from point A to point B efficiently and economically. The various methods are eco- friendly such as bikes, buses seeing that it is a form of carpooling at it best, and especially the trains that take you quickly from city to city.
More importantly the infrastructure is conducive to these forms of transportation. There is bike storage at the train station, at workplaces, and most every other place.

Comparably, Flint has decided to add bike trails to the ambience of the city, which is great for a start. It would be great if biking were an option year round, however the Michigan winter months impede biking. There are trains in Michigan and I have taken a wonderful train ride to Canada.
In any event these Japan and Taiwan have well developed system that are very accommodating.

Companies both big and small focus intensely on promoting its products and services.
Outside of almost every business there is someone enticing customers to patronize its business. The enticement is either by low price, differentiation, or conscious suggestion
( a pretty face as it spoke person ). As of lately in the US I have notice street advertising either by a person holding a sign, or dress in costume. I believe this mode of advertising is cost effective and efficient seeing that in Taiwan the employees that actively participate in promoting its company. Conversely, in the US, for the most part it is hired help


Also,check us out at the night market.

Palace Museum




Although we are oceans apart Taiwan’s culture has characteristic that are similar to the United States. Touring the Palace Museum in Taiwan I viewed the empirical evidence of changes in Taiwan and it’s Emperors. Each Emperor escalated their desire to be more significant than the previous Emperor. Differentiation was the key ingredient in manifesting their unique culture, strategy, and style, which is similar to the US Presidents’ need to shape the Whitehouse into what best represents the strategies and culture of that particular president.
