Course Class No. Student No. _____ Name __ Grade_________ WHO’S IN CHARGE?
The presi dent of Janice Tani’s firm asked her, as chief executive of the marketing division, and her staff (three male MBAs) to set up and close an important contract with a Japanese firm. He thought his choice especially good as Janice (a Japanese American from California) knew the industry well and could also speak Japanese.
As she and her staff were being introduced, Janice noticed a perplexed look on Mr. Yamamoto’s face and heard him repeat “chief executive” to his assistant in an unsure manner. After Janice had presented the merits of the strategy in Japanese, referring to notes provided by her staff, she asked Mr. Yamato what he thought. He responded by saying that he needed to discuss some things further with the head of her department. Jani
ce explained that was why she was there. Smiling, Mr. Yamato replied that she had done an especially good job of explaining, but that he wanted to talk things over with the person in charge. Beginning to be frustrated, Janice stated that she had authority for her company. Mr. Yamamoto glanced at his assistant, still smiling, and he arranged to meet with Janice at another time.
Why did Mr. Yamamoto keep asking Janice about the executive in charge?
(1) He did not really believe that she was actually telling the truth about who she was
(2) He had never heard the term “executive” before and did not understand the meaning of “chief executive.”
(3) He had never personally dealt with a woman in Janice’s position, and her language ability caused him to think of her in another capacity.
(4) He really did not like her presentation and did not want to deal with her firm.
(5) He was attracted to her and wanted to meet her alone.
谁是负责人？
Janice Tani公司的总裁要她（市场部的行政长官）和她的员工（三个男MBA学生）与一个日本公司去签署一份重要的合同。他认为他的选择是非常正确的，因为Janice （一个加利福尼亚籍的一个日本人）非常了解这家公司并能够说日语。
当在场的人介绍她和她的员工时，Janice注意到Yamamoto先生脸上复杂的表情，并且听到他以一种不确定的语气不断给助手重复“行政长官”这个词。在Janice陈述了公司在日本的战略核心时，参照助手提供的建议，Janice问Yamamoto先生的看法。Yamamoto先生说他需要与她的上级主管商讨更进一步的细节问题。Janice解释了她来的目的。Yamamoto先生笑着对Janice说，她的解释非常好，但是他需要与她的上级负责人继续沟通。Janice非常的沮丧，并且一再声明她就是负责人。Yamamoto瞥了一眼他的助手，仍然只是笑一笑说他将在另外的时间安排与Janice会面。

THE IMMIGRA TION OFFICER
Felipe Cordova was a senior official in the Philippines Ministry of Communication. He is proud of the fact that he has been invited to the United States to attend an international conference and is excited at the prospect of his first trip there. Upon entering the United States he has to pass through Immigration and Customs. The immigration officer subjects him to a long series of questions as to how long he intends to visit relatives, whether he u
nderstands the visa regula tions, and so on. Felipe grows increasingly irritated by the questioning and finally refuses to answer any more queries. The officer then calls over the supervisor who leads Felipe away to his office and spends considerable time verifying the authenticity of all his documents before finally allowing him to proceed. Felipe suffers all this with the repressed indignation but swears to himself that he will never return to this uncivilized country.

(3) His expectations as to his status and treatment in the United States have been strongly violated.
(4) He feels the officer’s questioning is too personal and resents having to disclose such i
nformation.

ROOMING IN-OR OUT?
Jack, a rather boisterous but well-liked American student, shared a room in an international dormitory with a Thai student, Pitchit. They seemed to get on fairly well and jack remar ked to one of his American friends how easy Pitchit was to live with compared to with some of his previous roommates, as they seemed to have similar routines and interests. However, halfway through the semester Pitchit suddenly announced he had asked for a room transfer and would be moving out next week. Jack was quite upset and puzzled and Pitchit why. At first he was reticent about saying anything, but after persistent questioning he told jack he could not tolerate Jack’s habits—he was always playing loud music, had friends visiting at all hours, and was very disorderly. Jack asked him why he had not told him before as he had not realized he was disturbing Pitchit in any way. Pitchit said nothing.
