What sorts of projects have you done?

In 1999 JCC was instrumental in writing and editing the Zagat Survey's guide to Tokyo Restaurants. JCC negotiated with Zagat's Japanese editorial partners, organized and coordinated editorial teams, collated, edited, and rewrote reviews, and acted as a liaison between Zagat's management and editorial staff here in NYC and their editorial partner Chintai in Japan. The Japanese language version of this book was published last summer, and JCC is currently involved in preparing an English version for publication later this year. Also during the past year, JCC coordinated a U.S. consulting firm's effort to gather information on Japanese automobile companies' operations and management personnel in China, for potential marketing of their consulting services.
