Q.1: As CEO of the “Softronix” what reasons do you see for the poor performance in Japan?



ANSWER:-1

Reasons for poor performance in Japan:-

Cultural characteristics difference between several dimensions and aspects; the ability to perceive them and to cope with them is one of the bases of intercultural competence. In Japan “Collectivism and Individualism” dimensions of cultural difference decrease the performance in Softronix. In every culture the preferences and habits of people are different and they have also different habits & styles of work.

So the basic & main reason for the poor performance in Japan is that the people in Japan are not willing to work individually. If we are unwilling to do any task than we can’t get the positive results.

And In Japan people tend to work in collectively in teams. So when Mr. Ahmad gave work individually the can’t get positive results because of “Cultural Differences”

.

Q.2: Keeping in view the GLOBE framework for assessing the cultures, what other considerations should Mr. Ahmad look at in order to assess the two totally different cultures?

(10)

ANSWER:-2

Other consideration to assess the two totally different cultures for assessment of intercultural competence as an existing ability and / or the potential to develop it (with conditions and timeframe),

the following characteristics are tested and observed: ambiguity tolerance, openness to contacts, flexibility in behavior, emotional stability, motivation to perform, empathy, met communicative competence, polycentrism.

In every culture the preferences and habits of people are different and they have also different habits & styles of work.

So same styles in two different cultures or regions can’t gives in positive results.

He should look that the choices of Japanese whether they like to work separately or in a group, give them full liberty to work with their own style.
