توضیحات
Japan fascinates the world, and still gets misread more often than almost any other country.Why does silence carry more weight than debate in a Japanese meeting?Why can a simple decision take three meetings to reach?And why does a manager apologize for something that was never their fault?Japan: Culture After BUSHIDO is Kohei Shinkai's answer to these questions.In 1900, Inazo Nitobe's BUSHIDO explained the samurai to a Western audience that had never really understood them. The samurai class disappeared not long after. What Nitobe described in them, though, still shows up in Japanese boardrooms, classrooms, and living rooms today, over 125 years later.Shinkai spent 40 years working across 60 countries as a product designer and business executive, watching these misunderstandings play out firsthand. The book's core is a country-by-country comparison of Japan against 25 nations, from the US and China to Brazil and Belgium, using Hofstede's Six-Dimension Model of Culture. For each one, he identifies where the friction actually comes from and what to do about it. This level of comparative detail is not something you'll find in other books about Japan.It's not only a business manual. There are chapters on the world's oldest companies, on haiku, on washoku and wabi-sabi, on where omotenashi hospitality really comes from. And there's an honest look at where Japan struggles, including the gender gap, low English proficiency, and a digital transformation that's still catching up.■ ContentsChapters 1–2 lay out Japan's cultural distinctiveness using Hofstede's Six-Dimension Model.Chapters 3–4 go country by country, covering the 25 nations home to the largest Japanese expatriate communities (the US, Australia, China, Canada, Thailand, the UK, Brazil, Germany, South Korea, France, and more), explaining where misunderstandings come from and how to work through them.Chapter 5 ranks Japan's top 20 strengths and top 20 challenges as seen from abroad. It's useful shorthand for explaining Japan to a colleague or friend overseas.■ Now in Japanese, Spanish, and FrenchPass a copy to a colleague abroad, or a friend from your time studying overseas. A shared book gives you a shared starting point.
