    This document discusses differences between East Asian and Western management styles. Some key differences include: - East Asians tend to value harmony and saving face more, so they communicate more indirectly and avoid direct confrontation. Westerners tend to be more direct. - Decision making processes differ, with Asians valuing consensus building over time and Westerners tending to make decisions more quickly and individually. - Culturally, East Asia is considered more "polychromic", meaning they can focus on multiple things at once and are less rigid about schedules, while the West is more "monochromic". - These differences stem from influences like parenting styles, education, and high/low context communication preferences between Eastern and Western cultures
