Warming-up Activity: Case Study Carl was an employee of an international company and he’s working in Japan now. He’s very pleased to be invited to a party shortly after his arrival in Japan, where most of the guests were Japanese. At the party, everyone was expected to entertain, even the senior managers got up to give a song or tell a joke. All the people seemed so informal and cooperative, far different from those conventional, stuffy Japanese Carl had read about before. Read the following story and discussin pairs or groups: At a meeting on the next day after the party, Carl found that he was at the same room, together with the people who had contributed to the merriment of the evening at the party. Keeping the informality in mind, Carl used the meeting as an opportunity to present a proposal. After Carl brought up his proposal, however, he was met with a wall of silence and, even to the end of meeting, no one had ever offered him any idea about his proposal. Carl totally got puzzled with the response of his Japanese colleagues. But he didn’t know what was wrong with it
