When companies go overseas, it is necessary to adjust their management to the country's rule or culture. However, that's very difficult because understanding rules and culture of different country is not easy. Many Japanese companies have been building manufacturing plants and creating subsidiaries in the Us since 1980's. Most of them have brought Japanese management in to the US. Some were very successful, but some had many problems which caused several conflicts with American Society.

For example, now Mitsubishi Motors Corp. have been fighting in the US court on a sexual harassment problem. The US press says th is problems lies in the difference of the thinking way towards sexual harassment problems and working women between the US and Ja pan.

The scandal of Daiwa Bank in New York discovered last year also resulted from that the Japanese company didn't understand the d if ference in the business environment between the two countries.

These two examples shows that Japanese companies are still having difficulties to adjust their management to the American busin es s environment. Therefore, this paper will discuss the problems which Japanese management in the US confront and will try and su gg est, where possible, some solutions. I hope this will be the guidebook for Japanese companies planning to do business in global m arket.

1. Case Study 1 : Why Mitsubishi Motors Corp. scandal happened?
2. Compare the local society which companies have to confront between in Japan and in America.
3. Case Study 2 : Why Daiwa Bank scandal happened?
4. Compare the business environment which governments and other competitors are creating between in two countries.
5. What Japanese companies are careful about, when they go the US.

When companies go overseas, it is necessary for them to adjust their management to the country's rule or culture. However, that's very difficult because understanding rules and cultures of different countries is not easy. Many Japanese companies have been building manufacturing plants and creating subsidiaries in the US since the 1980's. Most of them have brought Japanese management into the US. Some were very successful, but some had many problems which caused several conflicts with American Society.	** you need "for them to adjust" or "that they adjust" or you could completely simplify the sentence as follows: "It is necessary for companies going overseas to adjust their..." **"rules and cultures...countries" should all be plural..You cannot mix singular and plural..or it will read awkwardly. **"US" is the abbreviation for United States while Us means "us"...your meaning was clear but spelling incorrect. **"1980's", as used in your sentence is a definite period of time, so you need the definite article "the"
For example, now Mitsubishi Motors Corp. has been fighting in the US courts over a sexual harassment lawsuit court on a sexual harassment problem. The US press says this problem lies in the different ways of thinking towards sexual harassment problems and working women between the US and Japan. The scandal of the Daiwa Bank in New York discovered last year also resulted from a Japanese company that didn't understand the difference in the business environment between the two countries.	** Mitsubishi Motors Corp. is 3rd person..same as he/she/it..so you need "has"..."have" is used with 1st person; "I have" "You have" "he/she/it has"...The United States has".. ** "courts" should be plural...and Mitsubishi is, I believe, fighting over a "sexual harassment lawsuit"...not a problem"..If you go to court, you are in a "lawsuit". Of course the "lawsuit" is a problem...but why not use the exact term which is "lawsuit". ** "this problem" and not "this problems"..."these problems" is ok. You are speaking of a single problem. ** "different ways of thinking" "ways" is the main point..so make it simple "different ways" .. different ways of what? .."of thinking"...wakaru? ** need "the" because Daiwa Bank is a definite entity.(thing). **"Japanese company" is used in a generalized sense, so use "a", the indefinite article. **you need the relative pronoun "that"...or you could use "which"..."Japanese company" is the main point of this part of the sentence.."didn't understand the difference in the business environment between the two countries" ... is a statement without a subject of major point. That part of your sentence refers to "Japanese company", so you need "that" or "which" to connect that part of the sentence to "Japanese company".
These two examples show that Japanese companies are still having difficulties in adjusting their management to the American business environment. Therefore, this paper will discuss the problems which Japanese management in the US confront and will try and suggest, where possible, some solutions. I hope this will be a guidebook for Japanese companies planning to do business in global market.	**"show" and not "shows". e.g. I show; you show; he shows ; they show; we show... **use the "ing" form more often than the infinitive "to" form. **I realize that your paper will be an excellent one. However, it is doubtful that it will become "the" one and only source for Japanese companies planning to do business in the global market. But, it may become "a" guidebook that helps Japanese companies. Using "the" sounds arrogant.
Case Study 1 : Why the Mitsubishi Motors Corp. scandal happened? Compare the local society that companies have to confront in Japan and America. Case Study 2 : Why the Daiwa Bank scandal happened? Compare the business environment which governments and other competitors are creating between the two countries. What Japanese companies are careful about, when they go the US. To prevent scandals in the US, what Japanese companies should do? What the Japanese management should will be in the future global economy age.	** use "the" with proper definite names. ** "that" is better than "which" in this situation. This is not a major mistake. Some people would accept "which". However, I believe "that" is much clearer. **"in Japan and America" is simpler. Always simplify, where possible!!! **Again, be careful in making "categorical statements" such as "will be in the future"...nobody knows the future so you can't say "will"...you could use "should be in the ..." (as shown) or you could say "ought to be" "is predicted to be by experts", or "what the trends show the Japanese management might (should; could) be...etc. The main point is that you have to be careful about making very strong definite statements in English. I know that many people think one of the "great things" about English is the directness of the language. This is true, but you must still be careful to not be "over-direct".

The following questions and comments should help you to continue and complete your report. If you wish to discuss any of these questions with the instructor, please contact him by e-mail. In addition to the questions listed here, you can, of course, think of your questions to complete you work.

If you use an article from a magazine, newspaper or online (Internet) source, you need to identify where that source came from. We will talk more about "sources of information" in class meetings.

You have identified Mitsubishi bank and Daiwa as two cases where Japanese management style seems to have clashed with American style and caused problems. That is good. However, you need to balance your report by identifying Japanese companies that have been able to become very successful in developing wholly owned subsidiaries in the United States. Honda America is, obvious, one of these companies. Try and compare why Honda America has become so successful while Mitsubishi keeps on "sticking its foot in its mouth". There are other examples of Japanese companies which have become successful in America. See if the successful companies have done things differently than those Japanese companies which have been unsuccessful. Is it "good management' or "good luck"?

I believe that the Mitsubishi problem is very much tied to cultural differences. You need to describe exactly what Mitsubishi did to try and "cover up" their problems. If you were the manager at Mitsubishi how would you have handled the "sexual harassment" problem? The "Daiwa " problem seems less tied to cultural problems and similar to the problem that Barclays bank had in Singapore...an uncontrolled investor, if I am not mistaken. You might see if the problem with Daiwa, in your opinion, was a cultural problem or more likely, a criminal and careless management problem, not related to Japanese management at all. I am only asking a question. I do not know the answer.

Since many companies have invested, directly, in the United States and even established "wholly owned subsidiaries" there, are there certain "cultural rules" which all companies should follow? For example, many American companies have created "designated smoking areas" because many Americans do not like to be around smokers. If you were a Japanese manager of a new company about to embark to the United States, what specific kinds of advice would you give your senior manager related to understanding American cultural differences?

What kinds of Japanese investment in the United States seems to have been the most successful. For example, there are "joint ventures" where an American company and a Japanese company work jointly together. Then, there are "wholly owned subsidiaries". Which style of investment have Japanese companies generally favored?

Have Japanese companies investing in the United States allowed Americans into the "Board Room". The question means, have American senior management moved into positions of "true authority" on an equal basis with the Japanese senior management?
