Management Styles around
the World
Ethical standards differ substantially across
cultures, as do rituals such as sales
interactions and negotiations. In most
countries, the foreign trader also is likely to
encounter a fairly high degree of
government involvement.
Example:
1. United States
- Individualism: The U.S. is known for its individualistic culture, and
this is often reflected in management styles. American managers
may focus on individual achievements, rewards, and personal career
development.
2. Japan
- Collectivism: Japan has a collectivist culture where group harmony
and consensus are highly valued. Japanese management tends to
focus on team collaboration and building strong interpersonal
relationships. Decision-making is often more consensus-driven.
Discussion Question:
Hierarchy and Respect - the Philippines has a hierarchical structure in organizations. Respect for
authority is important, and employees typically show deference to their superiors. It is common
for decisions to be made by top-level management, with input from lower levels in the
hierarchy.
Strong Family Values - The Filipino culture places a high value on family, and this extends to the
workplace. Managers may adopt a familiar approach, creating a sense of belonging among
employees. In return, there is an expectation of loyalty and commitment.
- Therefore, it is important to note for Management Style Around
the World that individual companies and industries may vary in
their management practices, and globalization has also
influenced some organizations to adopt more standardized and
modern management approaches. As with any cultural
generalizations, there will be exceptions, and practices may
evolve over time.
—Note!
Authority and
Decision Making
Business size, ownership, public
accountability, and cultural values that
determine the prominence of status and
position (PDI) combine to influence the
authority structure of business.
The Power Distance Index (PDI) measures how
much a society accepts unequal distribution of
power. High PDI indicates a greater acceptance of
hierarchy, while low PDI suggests a preference
for equality.
Authority Patterns
1. Top-level management decision making is generally found in situations
in which family or close ownership gives absolute control to owners and
businesses are small enough to allow such centralized decision making.
Example:
● In some European businesses like those in France, only a few top leaders
tightly control decision-making.
Example:
The company has several project teams, each assigned to
different aspects of product development or improvement.
According to:
David McClelland, the culture of some countries stressed the
virtue of a good personal life as far more important than profit
or achievement.
Meanwhile, according to Max Weber, at least part of the
standard of living that Americans enjoy in the United States
can be attributed to the hard-working Protestant ethic from
which we derive much of their business heritage.
Affiliation and Social Acceptance
In some countries, acceptance by neighbors and fellow workers
appears to be a predominant goal within business. The Asian outlook is
reflected in the group decision making so important in Japan, and the
Japanese place high importance on fitting in with their group.
Face-to-Face Communication
Example:
1. United States:
• In the U.S., face-to-face communication is often
direct, explicit, and open.
1. Japan
• Japanese communication tends to be more
indirect and implicit.
1. France
• French communication is characterized by
politeness and formality.
Discussion Question:
Face-to-Face Communication
P-Time
Two Latin colleagues conversing would likely opt to be late for their next
appointments rather than abruptly terminate the conversation before it
came to a natural conclusion.
M-Time
The American desire to get straight to the point and get down to business
is a manifestation of an M-time culture, as are other indications of
directness.
Based on our culture here in the Philippines,
Do we manifest P-Time or M-Time?
Negotiations
Emphasis
Business negotiations are perhaps the most fundamental
commercial rituals.
United States:
Often highly developed with a strong emphasis on understanding
customer needs and wants. Customer feedback and market research play
a crucial role in shaping business strategies.
Japan:
Companies often prioritize product quality and long-term customer
relationships. There may be an emphasis on understanding customer
preferences but with a focus on product excellence.

a. Customer-Centric Approach
b. Social and Digital Media Influence
c. Adaptability to Diverse Markets

Lessening Political Vulnerability
Although a company cannot directly control or alter
the political
environment of the country within which it operates, a
specific business venture can take
measures to lessen its degree of susceptibility to
politically induced risks.47 Indeed, one study
has shown some multinational firms actually may see
opportunities in financial and political
crises
Joint Ventures
Typically less susceptible to political harassment, joint
ventures can be with locals or other
third-country multinational companies; in both cases, a
company’s financial exposure is limited. A joint venture
with locals helps minimize anti-MNC feelings, and a
joint venture with
another MNC adds the additional bargaining power of a
third country.
