  6. Japanese and Politics/Religious Studies personal statement

• In Japanese corporations everyone is trained to be a generalist, as opposed to a “ narrow specialist ” in the USA.

• People are rotated in every department of the company and transferred to other departments to familiarize themselves with the entire company, and can therefore take over several different duties.

• Decisions are made by all employees, and not just by one top executive as in the USA.

• Management consensus is very common.

• Informal get-togethers (at lunch, coffee breaks) allow the participants to develop a better understanding of the subject and then bring to successful negotiations with the partner.
