One of the points I try to make very clear to students in my
classes cross-cultural management classes is that there has to a great
harmony between structure/strategy/processes and the culture where we
operate. We should not imposed styles, forms, etc., on anyone just
because they are ours, and we are right! Whenever we try to act like the
"ugly American," then we should expect trouble. I agree that, by human
nature, we all want be treated with dignity, etc. Deming said "one is
born with intrinsic motivation, self-esteem, dignity. He inherits joy in
work, joy in learning. These attributes are high at the beginning of
life..."
