Five cultural differences between Japanese and US companies you should know

My colleague Alex’s presentation at the Tech Talk Tokyo #4 event was really good, so I’m keeping it as an article.

After hearing Alex’s personal views on the following five topics about “Japanese companies do ○○ but US companies do ☓☓,” I thought “I want to incorporate the points I thought were good into my work style.”

  1. Emails
  2. Working Time
  3. Giving Negative Feedback
  4. Making Decisions
  5. Performance and Appraisal

If you want to know the detailed content, please read the slides (in English).

That’s all from the Gemba.
