17、dark suits. Despite the rooms 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 another a bit better at lunch. They were usually deferential and al

18、ways polite.A similar seminar for 25 Americans working for Japanese subsidiaries in America included eight women. Several of the men removed their jackets on entering the room.

According to Mr Tsurumi, they find comical the sight of American managers in adjacent offices exchanging memos.Confronted with a dispute between midd

23、le managers, most Japanese superiors refuse to become involved, expecting the managers themselves to resolve the issue. The Americans con- clude, wrongly, that their Japanese bosses are indecisive or incompetent. Japanese managers do not share the American belief that conflict is inevitable, and som
