Fundamental differences in the East and West make it very important to understand both management styles
!
Analysis of the different management styles in the East and West are done on the basis of these concepts and values:
‣ Collectivism vs. Individualism
‣ Vertical Hierarchy vs. Horizontal Hierarchy
‣ Harmony vs. Competition
‣ Long-term vs. Short-term orientation
![Page 29: Eastern vs. Western Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052205/558d0835d8b42aaf168b4642/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
C O L L E C T I V I S M V S . I N D I V I D U A L I S MIn East-Asian countries group consciousness is very important:
‣ conveys feeling of one-ness
‣ gives employees a strong sense of belonging
‣ believes that group decisions are more carefully evaluated and are less risky
In the West, individualism is emphasized: ‣ private life and work are divided
‣ employees are given more responsibility
‣ decisions can be made faster and are not side-tracked by emotions

Seniority is a very important concept in East-Asian countries.
‣ emphasizes vertical hierarchy
‣ promotion inside a company is based on how long one has worked there
‣ results in more responsibility for older employees
!
In contrast to this, equality in the workplace is imperative in the West.
‣ emphasizes horizontal hierarchy
‣ employees are promoted on merit-basis
‣ younger members of the company are given more responsibility

HARMONY VS. COMPETITION
Harmony is an essential value in East-Asian countries.
‣ a harmonious work place leads to more efficiency and better results
‣ negotiation skills are of great importance
‣ it is better not to stick out of the group; rather one should try to maintain harmony at all costs
In the West competition is found everywhere
‣ and becomes a very strong motivational factor
‣ encourages the desire to succeed and thus results in diligence
‣ possible to have ‘productive’ conflicts, which result in a favorable outcome W E S T V S . E A S T

!
LONG-TERM VS. SHORT-TERM ORIENTATION
East-Asian companies tend to focus on long-term projects
‣ gives competitive advantage
‣ possible to implement due to employees’ strong sense of belonging to the company
‣ down-side of inflexibility
Western companies are said to be short-term oriented ‣ short-term projects are seen as time-efficient
‣ as employees constantly change work places, difficult to implement long-term projects
‣ advantage of being more flexible

Ultimately, the management styles of the East and the
West are complementary, rather than exclusive. !
Therefore, it is very important to know the similarities and differences in order to be able to understand and cope
with any situation that might arise in cross-cultural management.
