Do you have examples of different cultural ____ in international business? It’s said there is a hamburger approach to ____management and to ____ people. So in the US, if you made a mistake, you’re being asked into the office of your boss and the boss will say something like, ‘We ____ you and it’s great that you ____ us and we had really good reasons and your performance is really well’, so it’s a sort of ____ of a hamburger, and then he or she will ____ to say, ‘but last week, this is we believe you could improve, you made ____’. So the criticism comes, which is the ____. And then, the language, the conversation will be ____ by approaches around, ‘and we continue to ____ you, we know you will be able to ____ this error and your performance will be good’, so this is the ____, then you go out of the office. Um, in Japan, you would only get a ____ and no meat, which means you’d be asked to enter the office of your boss, the boss talks to you about how much he or she ____ you and your ____ for the company, and you’d be asked to ____ again. Now the ____ thing that you’ve been asked to the boss, to ____ the boss and talk to the boss, is something that makes you think, ‘Oh my God, there’s ____ wrong’, so you don’t get meat, but you’re meant to actually ____ what the meat is, yeah and it saves your ____, of course. Now in Germany, the hamburger is just the ____, so you’re being asked to get into the boss’s ____, you’re being ____ and you get out again. So you have three different shapes of ____ yeah, and that is important to understand ____ when you work in these countries.
