Do It My Way
Cultural differences between Japanese and American managers have presented the biggest obstacle to Japanese companies investing in America.
A seminar for Japanese executives working in America was attended by 25 men nearly all of them in identical dark suits. Despite the room’s stifling heating system, they resolutely refused to remove their jackets. Their coffee break lasted exactly the scheduled ten minutes. They did not ask any questions until after they had got to know one an other a bit better at lunch. They were usually deferential and always polite.
A similar seminar for 25 Americans working for Japanese subsidiaries in America included eight women. (8) . A ten-minute coffee break stretched beyond 20 minutes. Participants asked questions and several aggressively contradicted what the speakers had to say.
According to Mr Thomas Lifson of Harvard and Mr Yoshihiro Tsurumi of New York’s Baruch Colleague—the two main speakers at both seminars misunderstandings between Japanese and American managers are possible at nearly every encounter. They can begin at the first recruiting interview. A big American company typically hires people to fill particular slots, Its bosses know that Americans are mobile people, who have a limited commitment to any particular employer or part of the country. (9) . American firms hire and hire almost at will.
The assumptions (and the expectations) of the Japanese managers of Japanese subsidiaries in America could hardly be more different. (10) .
American managers rely heavily on number-packed memoranda and the like. The Japanese colleagues prefer in formal consultations which lead eventually to a consensus. According to Mr Tsurumi, they find comical the sight of American managers in adjacent offices exchanging memos.
Confronted With a dispute between middle managers (11) . expecting the managers themselves to resolve the issue. The Americans conclude, wrongly, that their Japanese bosses are indecisive or incompetent. Japanese managers do not share the American belief that conflict is inevitable, and sometimes healthy. They want to believe that (12) .
A Several of the men removed their jackets after entering the room.
B nearly all of them in identical dark suits.
C However, I believe I’m qualified for this position.
