Abstract
Michelle Tamura is a newly-minted sales representative at a U.S. biotechnology company
specializing in portable benchtop electronics. Hired to tackle a potential expansion into the
academic research market, she is given an opportunity to pursue a client with potential ties to
Japan, her home country. Michelle’s new boss trains her to approach academic researchers with
confidence and provides her with a number of strategies to connect with new clients. He warns
her that academics are difficult to establish contact with and can be reluctant customers. When
Michelle visits a university laboratory to promote a new product, she is only able to meet with
student researchers who seem too busy to talk to her and avoid any productive interactions.
After multiple unsuccessful attempts, Michelle is unable to make in-roads on a potential contract
or approach the elusive principal investigator who is the key decision maker in the lab. Finally,
she decides to put to use her knowledge of Japanese culture and negotiation strategies she
learned in college to tackle the challenge at hand.
