International Cultural Differences (IB/PE professionals)
Hi all, I just had an interesting conversation with a senior in the industry and he was sharing how he found big cultural differences with the Japanese.
My experience is the following:
Eastern Europeans: straight forward and direct in communication, hard working
France: ??
UK: very polished, rarely straightforward, you must read between the lines, don’t rush into things, subtle with wealth
Germany: very hard working, aiming for perfection in everything, can push hard to get things done fast
Americans: hard working, money driven, respect rags to riches stories, direct communication (more polished version of Eastern Europe), and similar aggressive get-it-done attitude to Germans
Japanese: slow moving organisations, require lots of analysis and data before making decision
What is your version of the above?
I don’t think you can characterize all of Japan as slow moving organizations.
Of course, these are just stereotypes. I’m just trying to figure out if there is anything in particular I need to watch out for when working with international colleagues in London.
