18 TTS Marine Division Kulturprosjektet Business is the same everywhere Over-mystifying the China Scene. Becoming too cultural sensitive Two problematic starting points..

19 TTS Marine Division •We are totally dependant on Norwegians, Germans, Swedes, Chinese work well together •This is a significant challenge Kulturprosjektet

20 TTS Marine Division..about the Norwegians.. •..’’The Norwegians are a bit like the Chinese; They don’t make decisions like the Germans but keep on discussing about possible solutions without actually doing anything about it..’’ (Chinese) Kulturprosjektet

21 TTS Marine Division..about the Germans.. •..’’German’s supreme quality standards and stubbornness related to this is a good thing and China has to follow at some point anyway, otherwise no development can be achieved..’’ (Chinese) Kulturprosjektet

22 TTS Marine Division..about the Chinese.. •..’’It is not about bad will…but if they believe they can trick you without ‘’being taken in the act’’ and losing face – they will do it. If they have made a mistake – they will do whatever they can to cover it up..’’ (German) •..’’In Asia, when you make an action plan and people say yes, it still does not mean that we are going to do it. There are different “yes” answers for different aspects of plans and actions..’’ (Chinese) Kulturprosjektet

23 TTS Marine Division..about the Germans.. •..’’Germans always think about changing bad parts with new ones. The Chinese always first think about how to repair them…’’ (Chinese) •..’’Germans want to deliver quality more than to give into customer’s wish..’’ (Chinese) •..’’In China, you need to describe a problem without identifying a person - and only a few Germans in TTS are willing to compromise on this to get things done in China…’’ (German) Kulturprosjektet

24 TTS Marine Division..general perspective.. •..Norwegians, Swedes and Germans have different relationships to the Chinese. Norwegians have good relations, Swedes have average relations and the Germans have difficult relations due to attitudes…’’ (German) •..’’Germans and Norwegian have different mentality than Chinese regarding vacations. Norwegians are worse than the Germans in this aspect…’’ (Chinese) Kulturprosjektet
