This document discusses the link between culture and management. It explores how culture affects business management and ways to develop cross-cultural effectiveness. Culture is defined as learned behaviors and values passed down through generations. A culture can be seen as having three layers - observable behaviors, underlying norms and values, and core assumptions. Culture exists at various levels, including national, organizational, corporate, and professional. Managing organizations requires understanding how cultural elements influence employee relationships and readiness to accept changes. A corporate culture can develop through a company's shared history and be influenced by national culture and partnerships with foreign companies.
This document provides an overview of Japanese culture from various perspectives:
1. It outlines the administrative map, population statistics, major religions, and education system of Japan. Shinto and Buddhist beliefs have deeply influenced Japanese spirituality.
2. Japanese communication styles are characterized by group orientation, hierarchy, situational behavior, and high context. Indirect or ambiguous speech can cause misunderstandings with foreigners.
3. Linguistic differences also contribute to communication gaps, such as unique meanings of words in Japanese English, loan words from other languages, and direct translations. Nonverbal cues like laughter and silence have different implications than in Western cultures.
