Uncertainty avoidance refers to the extent to which a culture feels threatened by uncertain or unknown situations. Japanese culture has a high level of uncertainty avoidance, which means that businesses tend to be more risk-averse and conservative in their decision-making processes. When a US or UK company, which may originally have a more risk-taking culture, enters the Japanese market, adapting to a more conservative approach is a way to align with the local cultural preference for minimizing uncertainty and risk.
