Which Managerial Style is Superior? Western (USA) or Eastern (Japan)?
Eastern hemisphere managerial styles are different than Western ones. These styles can be compared to understand how they implement and apply enterprise performance management methodologies embedded with business analytics.
I describe this comparison in my article East versus West – Are Management Styles That Different? Click on this hyperlink to read this article.
The source for writing this article came from Jorgen Ellingson, Manager of Risk Management for TECOM, a major real estate development and management firm in Dubai. Jorgen exposed me to some provocative research about Eastern versus Western culture’s attitudes toward risk. In an article Jorgen authored in the December 2009 issue of Risk Management (pages 50-53), he references a study by Geert Hofstede about multi-cultural differences with risk appetite. Some of the observations from the study can be applied to implementing enterprise performance management and business analytics.
