Such a efficient day! Hi there, and welcome. For now i want to discuss abou American and Japanese management styles and their special fetures. These countries are in the leading position in terms of business and economic development. so, what do these countries represent with their management styles.

Management style is the manner in which an organization manages its employees and their work activities and will vary depending upon factors such as the characteristics of employees, the work activities engaged in, and the culture of the organization. A successful management style should effectively build teams and be able to motivate. A company without a good management is doomed to extinction. Henceforth, it is extremely important to choose the appropriate management style that would not only prevent such dreadful fate, but would also bring a desired success to a company.

 The two mostly discussed styles that compete against each other in terms of which one is more successful are the American and Japanese management styles. Both styles are unique. In the frequent debates that take place when comparing these two approaches emerge question, which one is more efficient and, therefore, should be implemented in the companies. Throughout the years when America’s economy suffered, the Japanese economy stood afloat. So when the economy in the USA in the 1970s worsened, the Japanese economy sustained a fairly high growth rate during the same time. The reason is that Japanese companies were managed better rather than American companies. Furthermore, Japanese factories have been considered to be using the best management style with high standards for quality while having the most advanced technology. Nonetheless, American companies have been successful in the marketplace as well. According to the World Management Survey, American companies applied appropriate management style and got through the darkest economical periods. Moreover, they have made tremendous profit and avoided bankruptcy in the crisis times. American companies have grown faster than companies of other countries.

 There are divergent points of view regarding the efficiency of these styles, some thinks Japanese management approach is more effective than American, respectively others think American approach is more effective than Japanese. However, both of these styles have their advantages and disadvantages, when it comes to execution and achievement of goals advantages must overweight the weaknesses. That is why the competition between American management and Japanese management must be scrutinized in details.
