You have just accepted a managerial expatriate assignment at a multinational company in Tokyo, Japan. You will become the manager of a team of 20 Japanese staff, who will be reporting directly to you. Before leaving for Japan, your firm hired a consultant to provide you with cross-cultural training and leadership advice. The consultant uses various frameworks, such as the Hofstede and Globe project models to support their recommendations. Assume you are the consultant, what evidence-based advice would you give to the expat to maximize the expat's chances to succeed on this international assignment? Use the theory studied this week to support your recommendations (Tip: Start by identifying the cultural dimensions of Japan, and compare them with the ones in the USA. What are the main differences?)
