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. A ten- minute coffee break stretched beyond 20 minutes. Participants asked questions and several aggressively contradicted

19、what the speakers had to say.According to Mr Thomas Lifson of Harvard and Mr Yoshihiro Tsurumi of New Yorks Baruch College - 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 recruitin

20、g 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. As a result, jobs are clearly defined and so are the skills needed to fill them. Ame

They hire people more for the skills they will acquire after joining the company than for their existing skills.American mana

22、gers rely heavily on number-packed memoranda and the like. The Japanese colleagues prefer informal 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 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

24、etimes healthy. They want to believe that employees form one big happy family.（分数：10.00）(1).This article is about American companies in Japan.（分数：1.00）A.正确B.错误(2).At one seminar the Japanese removed their jackets when they got hot.（分数：1.00）A.正确B.错误(3).The Japanese did not ask questions until after l
