Overview
First, review this module’s resources about Japanese management and Nissan’s organizational culture and values. You should also reread the resource from Module Three about jeitinho.
For this journal assignment, you will compare Japanese style management and Nissan Motor Company’s organizational culture with the cultural traits of Brazil that you explored in Module Three. Consider how these cultural concepts might interact as you respond to the following prompts:
- Identify one value from Japanese style management and Nissan’s organizational culture that you believe would work well with Brazilian jeitinho.
- Similarly, select one value from Japanese style management and Nissan’s organizational culture that might conflict with jeitinho.
