TOPIC AND TREATMENT AREAS:

Cases from the author's 35+ research studies of things foreign entering Japan, and things Japanese entering Western nations and CHina, distilled from 4000 referenes and 15 action research programs and organizaitons founded--USED TO ILLUSTRATE 2 new theory-derived models of all cultures and how to handle them--the Shared Practiced Routines model and the 5 Pairs model--definitions-uses, operations-tools, traits-dimensions, types-socialprocess locations, high performances-powers.

Half the contents were previously journal published, published presentations at conferences and Corporate Research Announcement events, and notes from new courses requested by founders of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, the author's first academic job 2 years before his Phd. was awarded.

2 chapters formed part of the final presentations that won Sekisui Chemical the Deming Prize and one other chapter was cited in the Baldrige Award, 12 years later that Xerox PARC won. Both are now being followed up via the author's leading the creation of Deep Learning Circles in China, under the auspices of Detao Masters Academy.

Some chapters are clearly abstract theory and academic, some are blends such as applied fields genearte, and others are theory-explicated and guided case expatiations. Front and back matter is largely polemic.

The contents were the primary course material for at total of 11 courses at U Chicago, Temple U, Keio U, Kansai Gaidai U, Kwansei Gakuin U, Beijing U, Fudan U.


DETAILED CONTENTS

A WARNING page 41

top Japan firms, top USA firms denied digitech = own cultures never really safe

people defending "nation" are not adult not safe = controlled by theories societies put in them as kids

thinking professionally about cultures rare and hard

the idea of "a book on the culture of Japan" etc. is ridiculous--no one has experienced all of "Japan" or all of any one nation, ever

INSTEAD, this is a book on a science of noticing/han­dling diverse differences

education = escaping your Initial Factory Settings

learn to HAVE what used to BE (base pride on, defend)

not TRUTHS about any nation but culture interactions, of cul­tures of: nation, gender, profession, business practices, eras, markets, organizations, technologies


PREFACE page 47

cultures have intentionally false theories of themselves

Japan, things Japanese--terribly religious

elites rise via substituting status for capability

girls wanting sex and power to stop wars in 1960s

USA abuses its own population; Japan yakuza visit crit­ics of their one party state

Japan invented anti-culture to its own culture that defeated quality of whole world

Japan great anti-pollution/aging-insurance systems not from votes but women demonstrating

all nations, groups = horrors wonders mixed

Richard's exposures to Japan--listed

Totalized Quality invented in Japan proves "when in Rome do OPPOSITE of what Romans do" works

selves-cultures-high-performances are THE SAME

individual Japanese dogged pursuit of quirky interests produce wonders for us all

11 traits of all cultures 8 traits of Japan = 64,000+ interac­tions--too many to handle = knowing any culture is impossible

interface enabling noticing/responding to more traits = more culture powers

cultures inside us blind us to cultures around us SO

only educated, adults can be trusted to handle culture

SUMMARY--3 MODELS:

----handles of cultures we can use

----what "visiting" a culture consists of

----all traits of all cultures appear USED not neutrally; so

going out requires going in and vice versa

your hometown ways/views mis-fire outside that locale


FOUNDATIONS--Chapter 1, page 102

Provisos--

cultures are distributions not point values; no one in any culture acts averagely;

cultures are 3 distributions, ways, attitudes, theories that overlap differently;

culture are huge powers that are very weak; effortless­ness and sharing of culture ways bribe us to the error of thinking those ways are safe or effec­tive;

moms cause wars via teaching "right" ways; natural selection wants varieties of mind--fights societ­ies wanting uniform minds;

Roman ways not safe in Rome some foreign ways fix what Romans never notice/fix;

every aspect of personal ID shrinks the size of world we operate in and notice/sympathize with;

close friends and family oppose our growth;

fast emotive brain pre-narrows what concept brain notices;

culture traits never appear neutrally in situations but only used by hidden interests;

all cultures treat selves as teams to root for and against other teams/cultures = wars;

cultures and theories of cultures used for hidden profits/interests;

many kinds of unknownness of us to us, others to others, us to others.

TOOL 1--Stages of Penetrating Cultures as Insight Processes

TOOL 2--Dimensions: 16-64-19

CULTURES TO, FROM, & IN JAPAN--Chapter 2, page 272

Japan--from isolation outside to isolation inside

SO isolation makes Japan creative but globally weak

Managing by fact in Japan--socially, in USA--tech-ly

Managing by fact COUNTERS dominant emotionality there

Slowness, too many meetings--consensus by BORE­DOM, consensus on vague concept statements = tatemae, faked, agreement misread by visi­tors

USA spread disease of venal MBAs--Japan resisted, Canada fixed via "business is design art" not "econ sci­ence"--Silicon Valley ruined by MBAs now

Design Thinking copies its methods from software--fast prototypes, user empathy, iteration, agile

Knowledge Delivery, High Tech Delivery--in Japan via whole-workforce-as-computer social tac­tics, Manage by Events, in USA by email, techs

Japan's totalizings of knowledge and new tech han­dling = de-elitizing, democratizing, de-profes­sion-izing, de-academy-izing, de-PHD-izing

Silicon Valley from people who "go West"; Jobs-Apple from people who went beyond California west to Japan

The Buddhist core of imagined penis nosed dogs as masturbation convenience in manga

The deep religiosity of practices in Japan today

The habits of central dictatorship---whole population automatically works petty scale details, only Daimyo works forest, rest work trees, twigs

Lao-Tzu--the power of no, not, nothingness--Japanese a language optimized for NOT saying, Japanese people selves that erase themselves in all situations, groups that are composed of no individuals.
