Uncertainty Avoidance
The differences in Uncertainty Avoidance between Japan and USA are very big which can be seen at the different approaches to this deal the firms have. The japanese spent a year and a half researching before approaching Allmack. In comparison the American boss says he “has a good feeling about this deal” which points to much more willingness to take risks.
Another episode that shows the huge differences between the two countries is when Moto asks for records from the past five years of the cement place. Kubashevsky does not understand this at all and thinks it should be enough with his trust. At the end they accept their differences and Kubashevsky gives Moto any kind of papers he asks for.
A third example of Uncertainty Avoidance can be seen when Kubashevsky increases the speed of the car and Moto becomes very nervous.
