What is Culture - Definition

Culture is a way of life of a group of people--the
behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols that they accept,
generally without thinking about them, and that are
passed along by communication and imitation from one
generation to the next.

Culture is the collective programming of the mind which
distinguishes the members of one human group from
another

Culture is “the way we do things round here”

   Government type: Britain is a parliamentary democracy with a constitutional
   Monarch as Head of State.

   The principle behind British democracy is that the people elect Members of
   Parliament (MPs) to the House of Commons, held no more than five years
   apart. Most MPs belong to a political party, and the party with the largest
   number of MPs in the House of Commons forms the government
       The Government runs the Country

   There are 3 major political parties: Labour – Left Wing politics; Conservative
   – Right wing politics and Liberal Democrat – Centre politics.

   In recent years Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland also have there own
   local Parliaments

Education
  By law children between the ages of 5 and 16 receive full-time education (this
  will change to 18 years around 2015).

  More than 93% of all students in the Britain attend publicly funded state
  schools (i.e. free). Private education is available if people wish to pay

  Children have 6 years of education junior school. They normally transfer to
  high school at around 11 years of age.

  At around 16 years of age students take exams in a range of subjects at
  GCSE level (General Certificate of Secondary Education). Some subjects are
  compulsory (English and Mathematics being two).

  At this point students may leave the education system to find employment or
  may decide to study for 2 more years and take A Level (Advanced Level)
  exams. A Levels are the minimum requirements for acceptance into a British
  University.

Further Education
  When students attend a University in Britain they have to pay the course fees
  (minimum £3,450 per year). After 3 years students sit final exams and can
  graduate with a Bachelors degree. (Medical students require 4 years study).

  After graduating with a good Bachelors Degree many students spend 1 more
  year studying for a Masters Degree. This is funded directly by the student
  themselves or by industrial sponsorship.

  Top class students with good Bachelors Degrees can apply to study at PhD
  level (Doctorate). This normally requires 3 years of research before being
  awarded. This is an expensive route for students and most courses tend to
  be sponsored by the relevant industry.

Economics
  Economy - overview:
  Britain a leading trading power and financial centre, is one of the quartet of
  trillion dollar economies of Western Europe.

  Agriculture is intensive, highly mechanized, and efficient by European
  standards, producing about 60% of food needs with only 1% of the labor
  force.

  Britain has large coal, natural gas, and oil reserves; primary energy
  production accounts for 10% of GDP, one of the highest shares of any
  industrial nation.

  Services, particularly banking, insurance, and business services, account by
  far for the largest proportion of GDP while industry continues to decline in
  importance.

  Labour force is approximately 29,600,000
     By occupation: agriculture 1%, industry 19%, services 80%
        In China this is : agriculture 49%, industry 22%, services 29%

British Culture - Background

Language
  The most distinct aspect of British culture is that English is the native
  language.
       The vocabulary of English is the largest of any language almost
      1,000,000 words.
      Since the 16th Century, because of the contact that the British had with
      many peoples from around the world, many words have entered the
      language either directly or indirectly. Major languages that have
      contributed words to English include Latin, Greek, French, German,
      Arabic, Hindi (from India) and Italian.
  English is the second most spoken language in the world.
      English is the official language in 53 countries. It is estimated that there
      are up to 400 million native speakers and up to 1,000 million who use
      English as a second language. A further 100 million use it as a foreign
      language. It is the language of international business, science, aviation,
      computing, diplomacy, and tourism

British Culture - Background

Language
  Also spoken in Britain are
     Welsh (about 26% of the population of Wales)
     Scottish form of Gaelic (about 60,000 in Scotland)

  There is a difference between British English and English that is
  spoken in the USA and in many other parts of the world
     "We (the British and Americans) are two countries separated by a
     common language." G.B. Shaw

  For example: Don't comment on British pants!
  "pants" usually referred to underwear in the UK - not trousers

  In British English, not only do we pronounce the same words
  differently (accent), we also use different words for the same things
  making it more a difference in dialect.
      Example – Bread roll is also called a – bap; barm; batch;

Communications and Media
  In the Britain there are National newspapers, local newspapers and free
  issue newspapers. Sales of newspapers have fallen dramatically from the
  1950’s when more than 30 million copies were sold every day.

  Britain has 5 main Terrestrial TV stations. These are BBC1 and 2 (Public
  Service Broadcasting funded by a TV license fee) and ITV, Ch4 and 5
  (commercial channels which are funded by advertising). However there are
  more than 500 channels available to view in Britain.

  Britain also has many radio stations and with the advent of Digital Radio the
  number is increasing. The majority of people now prefer to tune into local
  commercial radio stations rather than Public Service Broadcasting stations
  which have no advertising (funded as part of the TV license fee).

Food
  Some people have their biggest meal in the middle of the day and some have
  it in the evening, but most people today have a small mid-day meal - usually
  sandwiches, and perhaps some crisps and some fruit.

  We have three main meals a day:

  Breakfast - between 7:00 and 9:00,

  Lunch (or Dinner) - between 12:00 and 1:30 p.m.

  Dinner (or Tea) (sometimes called Supper) - The main meal. Eaten anytime
  between 5:30 and 8:00 p.m.

  However on Sundays traditionally the main meal of the day (Sunday Lunch)
  is often eaten at midday instead of in the evening.

   BREAKFAST
   What is a typical English Breakfast?
   A traditional English breakfast consists of eggs, bacon, sausages, fried
   bread, mushrooms and baked beans, with a cup of tea. However today
   breakfast is more likely to be a bowl of cereals, a slice of toast, orange
   juice and a cup of coffee.
   Many people, especially children, in Britain will eat a bowl of cereal. They are
   made with different grains such as corn, wheat, oats etc.

   LUNCH
   What is a typical British lunch?
   Many children at school and adults at work will have a 'packed lunch'. This
   typically consists of a sandwich, a packet of crisps, a piece of fruit and a
   drink. The 'packed lunch' is kept in a plastic container.
   Sandwiches are also known as a 'butty' or 'sarnie' in some parts of the
   Britain.

   DINNER
   The evening meal is usually called 'tea', 'dinner' or 'supper'.
   What is a traditional British Dinner?
   A typical British meal for dinner is "meat and two veg". We put hot brown
   gravy, (traditionally made from the juices of the roast meat, but more often
   today from a packet!) on the meat and usually the vegetables. One of the
   vegetables is almost always potatoes.
   What is a typical British Dinner like today?
   The traditional meal is rarely eaten nowadays, apart from on Sundays. A
   recent survey found that most people in Britain eat curry! Rice or pasta
   dishes are now favoured as the 'British Dinner'.
   Vegetables grown in Britain, like potatoes, carrots, peas, cabbages and
   onions, are still very popular.

Etiquette - Greetings and Introductions
 First impressions are a really important aspect of British culture.
 Introductions
    In the business world introductions are based on a person's rank or position in
   an organisation. Whoever is the highest-ranking person is introduced to
   everyone else in order of their position.
    There might be occasions where you will have to introduce yourself.
    For example, if you are meeting a new colleague or an associate, you might
   start off by extending your hand and saying
    "Hello! I am .....".
    The British do shake hands, i.e. when first introduced to new people. In an
   informal situation you may see social kissing (often just a peck on the cheek),
   this is acceptable between men and women and also between women who know
   each other very well.
 Reacting to an introduction
    The response you give should have the same level of formality as the
   introduction

Etiquette - Eating
    In Britain, even today, people are judged by their table manners, especially
   when eating out or attending formal functions.

 Things you should do:-
    Chew and swallow all the food in your mouth before taking more or taking a
   drink.
    If you are at a dinner party wait until your host(ess) starts eating or indicates you
        should do so.

 Things you should not do:-
   •Never chew with your mouth open.
   •Never talk with food in your mouth.
   •Never put too much food in your mouth.
   •Never smoke during a meal. Smoking should not take place until dessert is
       finished (in public places it is now against the law to smoke).

Etiquette - Time
  British people place considerable value on punctuality.
  Since Britons are so time conscious, the pace of life may seem very rushed.
  In Britain, people make great effort to arrive on time.
  It is often considered impolite to arrive even a few minutes late. If you are
 unable to keep an appointment, it is expected that you call the person you are
 meeting.

You should arrive:
  At the exact time specified – for dinner, lunch, or appointments with professors,
 doctors, and other professionals.
  A few minutes early: for public meetings, plays, concerts, movies, sporting
 events, classes, church services, and weddings.
  If you are invited to someone's house for dinner at half past seven, they will
 expect you to be there on the dot. An invitation might state "7.30 for 8", in which
 case you should arrive no later than 7.50. However, if an invitation says "sharp",
 you must arrive in plenty of time.

Etiquette – General behavior
Things you do:-
      Do stand in line:
          In Britain we like to form orderly queues (standing in line) and
          wait patiently for our turn e.g. boarding a bus. It is usual to
          queue when required, and expected that you will take your
          correct turn and not push in front. 'Queue jumping' is frowned
          upon.
      Do say "Excuse Me":
          If someone is blocking your way and you would like them to move,
          say excuse me and they will move out of your way.
      Do say "Please" and "Thank you":
          It is very good manners to say "please" and "thank you". It is
          considered rude if you don't. You will notice in Britain that we say
          'thank you' a lot.

Etiquette – General behavior

Things you do:-

      Do Shake Hands:
         When you are first introduced to someone, shake their right
         hand with your own right hand.
      Do say sorry:
         If you accidentally bump into someone, say 'sorry'. They
         probably will too, even if it was your fault! This is a habit and
         can be seen as very amusing by an 'outsider'.
      Do Smile:
         A smiling face is a welcoming face.
      Do open doors for other people
         Men and women both hold open the door for each other. It
         depends on who goes through the door first.
      Do cover your Mouth:
         When yawning or coughing always cover your mouth with your
         hand.

Etiquette – General behaviour

Things you should not do:-

       Do not greet people with a kiss:
           We only kiss people who are close friends and relatives.
      Avoid talking loudly in public
           It is also impolite to stare at anyone in public.
      Privacy is highly regarded. Do not ask a lady her age
           It is considered impolite to ask a lady her age
      Do not pick your nose in public:
           We are disgusted by this. If your nostrils need de-bugging, use a
           handkerchief.
      Avoid doing gestures such as backslapping and hugging
           This is only done among close friends.
      Do not spit.
           Spitting in the street is considered to be very bad mannered. It is
           also against the law in Britain

Meetings
  The objectives of a meeting are identified at the onset, usually via an
  agenda which is issued to all attendees prior to the meeting

   Meetings generally start on time and have an agreed finish time.

   Generally only one discussion in the room at one time

   Mobile phones are put onto silent and are usually not answered in the
   meeting room

   For formal meetings there is a chair and a secretary. The chairperson
   is in charge of the meeting and the secretary takes the minutes –
   these normally include agreed decisions, actions and timescale to be
   undertaken.

Communications

  British tend to be direct – “tell it like it is”

  We like to hear the truth – even if it painful

  Open discussions can take place – irrespective of grade or position in
  Company

  We can be very blunt with our comments – i.e. “it will never work”

  In presentations we will give good and bad news where required

  When decisions are made and agreed we expect them to be
  honoured

Problem Solving
   Generally within the workplace problem solving will involve using one
   of several methods proven to help find ‘root cause’
   Such problem solving methods are:-
      Fish bone analysis
      8D analysis
      Brainstorming
      Root cause analysis
      Fault tree analysis


   Usually time will be taken to understand problem and find root cause
   before solutions are recommended and implemented
      This normally will save total time and cost to a solution


   FMEA’s are used to identify potential problems and tasks needed to
   be done to ensure these problems do not occur with a customer

British Culture – In the workplace

Planning
   It is common to ensure a robust plan of actions / activities is
   developed so that the project can progress in the most effective way
   thus ensuring delivery on time and to budget

   British feel uncomfortable with a project which is ‘planned to fail’ i.e.
   where one of the following will almost certainly occur:-
      Project is delayed – owing to, lack of information; no discussion; timing
      was unrealistic, etc


   It is encouraged to work as teams – from all disciplines / areas of the
   Company
      People will work ‘outside’ there normal area of responsibility

British Culture – In the workplace

Team Working

  Team working is seen as a great benefit in the workplace

  Multi disciplined teams can increase efficiently and effective working
     Having inputs from various disciplines at the start of a project can ensure
     the product is designed to meet, quality, cost, manufacturing assembly
     needs as well as product targets


  Team working helps to develop understanding of total product cycle
  requirements

British Culture – Free Time


In recent history British have enjoyed more – free time
   The working week is typically now 35 to 40 hours over 5 days
   EU legislation in some EU Countries limits the working week to a
   maximum of 48 hours – the British have ‘opted out’ of this rule


Free time enables people to enjoy other pleasures of life such as:-
   Hobbies
   Travel
   Sports


Some typical free time activities are shown on the next slides

  • 28. British Culture - Background Education By law children between the ages of 5 and 16 receive full-time education (this will change to 18 years around 2015). More than 93% of all students in the Britain attend publicly funded state schools (i.e. free). Private education is available if people wish to pay Children have 6 years of education junior school. They normally transfer to high school at around 11 years of age. At around 16 years of age students take exams in a range of subjects at GCSE level (General Certificate of Secondary Education). Some subjects are compulsory (English and Mathematics being two). At this point students may leave the education system to find employment or may decide to study for 2 more years and take A Level (Advanced Level) exams. A Levels are the minimum requirements for acceptance into a British University. 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 28

After 3 years students sit final exams and can graduate with a Bachelors degree. (Medical students require 4 years study). After graduating with a good Bachelors Degree many students spend 1 more year studying for a Masters Degree. This is funded directly by the student themselves or by industrial sponsorship. Top class students with good Bachelors Degrees can apply to study at PhD level (Doctorate). This normally requires 3 years of research before being awarded. This is an expensive route for students and most courses tend to be sponsored by the relevant industry. 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 29

  • 31. British Culture - Background Economics Economy - overview: Britain a leading trading power and financial centre, is one of the quartet of trillion dollar economies of Western Europe. Agriculture is intensive, highly mechanized, and efficient by European standards, producing about 60% of food needs with only 1% of the labor force. Britain has large coal, natural gas, and oil reserves; primary energy production accounts for 10% of GDP, one of the highest shares of any industrial nation. Services, particularly banking, insurance, and business services, account by far for the largest proportion of GDP while industry continues to decline in importance. Labour force is approximately 29,600,000 By occupation: agriculture 1%, industry 19%, services 80% In China this is : agriculture 49%, industry 22%, services 29% 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 31
  • 32. British Culture - Background Language The most distinct aspect of British culture is that English is the native language. The vocabulary of English is the largest of any language almost 1,000,000 words. Since the 16th Century, because of the contact that the British had with many peoples from around the world, many words have entered the language either directly or indirectly. Major languages that have contributed words to English include Latin, Greek, French, German, Arabic, Hindi (from India) and Italian. English is the second most spoken language in the world. English is the official language in 53 countries. It is estimated that there are up to 400 million native speakers and up to 1,000 million who use English as a second language. A further 100 million use it as a foreign language. It is the language of international business, science, aviation, computing, diplomacy, and tourism 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 32
  • 33. British Culture - Background Language Also spoken in Britain are Welsh (about 26% of the population of Wales) Scottish form of Gaelic (about 60,000 in Scotland) There is a difference between British English and English that is spoken in the USA and in many other parts of the world "We (the British and Americans) are two countries separated by a common language." G.B. Shaw For example: Don't comment on British pants! "pants" usually referred to underwear in the UK - not trousers In British English, not only do we pronounce the same words differently (accent), we also use different words for the same things making it more a difference in dialect. Example – Bread roll is also called a – bap; barm; batch; bun; muffin; breadcake 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 33
  • 34. British Culture - Background Language - Continued American, Canadian, Australian and the British use a lot of the same words . . . but they say them differently and/or the words have different meanings. Examples are:- British English American English Block a building (block of flats, office in a city, the portion of a street between block) adjacent intersections Coach bus with of higher standard of extracurricular sports teacher at a school comfort, usually chartered or used (UK: PE teacher) for longer journeys lowest class on a passenger aircraft (UK: railway carriage economy) Entree starter of a meal main course of a meal First floor (of a the floor above ground level (US: the floor at ground level (often, but not building) second floor) always, the same floor as a building's lobby) hamper large basket for food basket for clothes that need washing hood the folding fabric top on a hinged cover over the engine in a car convertible car 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 34
  • 35. British Culture - Background Communications and Media In the Britain there are National newspapers, local newspapers and free issue newspapers. Sales of newspapers have fallen dramatically from the 1950’s when more than 30 million copies were sold every day. Britain has 5 main Terrestrial TV stations. These are BBC1 and 2 (Public Service Broadcasting funded by a TV license fee) and ITV, Ch4 and 5 (commercial channels which are funded by advertising). However there are more than 500 channels available to view in Britain. Britain also has many radio stations and with the advent of Digital Radio the number is increasing. The majority of people now prefer to tune into local commercial radio stations rather than Public Service Broadcasting stations which have no advertising (funded as part of the TV license fee). 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 35
  • 36. British Culture - Background Communications and Media Latest Statistics: 537 British Television Channels 823 British Radio Stations 1,606 British Newspapers 1,959 Magazines 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 36
  • 37. British Culture - Background Food Some people have their biggest meal in the middle of the day and some have it in the evening, but most people today have a small mid-day meal - usually sandwiches, and perhaps some crisps and some fruit. We have three main meals a day: Breakfast - between 7:00 and 9:00, Lunch (or Dinner) - between 12:00 and 1:30 p.m. Dinner (or Tea) (sometimes called Supper) - The main meal. Eaten anytime between 5:30 and 8:00 p.m. However on Sundays traditionally the main meal of the day (Sunday Lunch) is often eaten at midday instead of in the evening. 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 37
  • 38. British Culture - Background Food Typical Meals BREAKFAST What is a typical English Breakfast? A traditional English breakfast consists of eggs, bacon, sausages, fried bread, mushrooms and baked beans, with a cup of tea. However today breakfast is more likely to be a bowl of cereals, a slice of toast, orange juice and a cup of coffee. Many people, especially children, in Britain will eat a bowl of cereal. They are made with different grains such as corn, wheat, oats etc. 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 38
  • 39. British Culture - Background Typical English Breakfast? Most English breakfast are much smaller portions! 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 39
  • 40. British Culture - Background Food Typical Meals LUNCH What is a typical British lunch? Many children at school and adults at work will have a 'packed lunch'. This typically consists of a sandwich, a packet of crisps, a piece of fruit and a drink. The 'packed lunch' is kept in a plastic container. Sandwiches are also known as a 'butty' or 'sarnie' in some parts of the Britain. 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 40
  • 41. British Culture - Background Food Typical Meals DINNER The evening meal is usually called 'tea', 'dinner' or 'supper'. What is a traditional British Dinner? A typical British meal for dinner is "meat and two veg". We put hot brown gravy, (traditionally made from the juices of the roast meat, but more often today from a packet!) on the meat and usually the vegetables. One of the vegetables is almost always potatoes. What is a typical British Dinner like today? The traditional meal is rarely eaten nowadays, apart from on Sundays. A recent survey found that most people in Britain eat curry! Rice or pasta dishes are now favoured as the 'British Dinner'. Vegetables grown in Britain, like potatoes, carrots, peas, cabbages and onions, are still very popular. 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 41

  • 44. British Culture - Background Etiquette - Greetings and Introductions First impressions are a really important aspect of British culture. Introductions In the business world introductions are based on a person's rank or position in an organisation. Whoever is the highest-ranking person is introduced to everyone else in order of their position. There might be occasions where you will have to introduce yourself. For example, if you are meeting a new colleague or an associate, you might start off by extending your hand and saying "Hello! I am .....". The British do shake hands, i.e. when first introduced to new people. In an informal situation you may see social kissing (often just a peck on the cheek), this is acceptable between men and women and also between women who know each other very well. Reacting to an introduction The response you give should have the same level of formality as the introduction 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co.
  • 45. British Culture - Background Etiquette - Eating In Britain, even today, people are judged by their table manners, especially when eating out or attending formal functions. Things you should do:- Chew and swallow all the food in your mouth before taking more or taking a drink. If you are at a dinner party wait until your host(ess) starts eating or indicates you should do so. Things you should not do:- •Never chew with your mouth open. •Never talk with food in your mouth. •Never put too much food in your mouth. •Never smoke during a meal. Smoking should not take place until dessert is finished (in public places it is now against the law to smoke). 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co.
  • 46. British Culture - Background Etiquette - Time British people place considerable value on punctuality. Since Britons are so time conscious, the pace of life may seem very rushed. In Britain, people make great effort to arrive on time. It is often considered impolite to arrive even a few minutes late. If you are unable to keep an appointment, it is expected that you call the person you are meeting. You should arrive: At the exact time specified – for dinner, lunch, or appointments with professors, doctors, and other professionals. A few minutes early: for public meetings, plays, concerts, movies, sporting events, classes, church services, and weddings. If you are invited to someone's house for dinner at half past seven, they will expect you to be there on the dot. An invitation might state "7.30 for 8", in which case you should arrive no later than 7.50. However, if an invitation says "sharp", you must arrive in plenty of time. 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co.
  • 47. British Culture - Background Etiquette – General behavior Things you do:- Do stand in line: In Britain we like to form orderly queues (standing in line) and wait patiently for our turn e.g. boarding a bus. It is usual to queue when required, and expected that you will take your correct turn and not push in front. 'Queue jumping' is frowned upon. Do say "Excuse Me": If someone is blocking your way and you would like them to move, say excuse me and they will move out of your way. Do say "Please" and "Thank you": It is very good manners to say "please" and "thank you". It is considered rude if you don't. You will notice in Britain that we say 'thank you' a lot. 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 47
  • 48. British Culture - Background Etiquette – General behavior Things you do:- Do Shake Hands: When you are first introduced to someone, shake their right hand with your own right hand. Do say sorry: If you accidentally bump into someone, say 'sorry'. They probably will too, even if it was your fault! This is a habit and can be seen as very amusing by an 'outsider'. Do Smile: A smiling face is a welcoming face. Do open doors for other people Men and women both hold open the door for each other. It depends on who goes through the door first. Do cover your Mouth: When yawning or coughing always cover your mouth with your hand. 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 48
  • 49. British Culture - Background Etiquette – General behaviour Things you should not do:- Do not greet people with a kiss: We only kiss people who are close friends and relatives. Avoid talking loudly in public It is also impolite to stare at anyone in public. Privacy is highly regarded. Do not ask a lady her age It is considered impolite to ask a lady her age Do not pick your nose in public: We are disgusted by this. If your nostrils need de-bugging, use a handkerchief. Avoid doing gestures such as backslapping and hugging This is only done among close friends. Do not spit. Spitting in the street is considered to be very bad mannered. It is also against the law in Britain 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 49

  • 54. British Culture – In the workplace Meetings The objectives of a meeting are identified at the onset, usually via an agenda which is issued to all attendees prior to the meeting Meetings generally start on time and have an agreed finish time. Generally only one discussion in the room at one time Mobile phones are put onto silent and are usually not answered in the meeting room For formal meetings there is a chair and a secretary. The chairperson is in charge of the meeting and the secretary takes the minutes – these normally include agreed decisions, actions and timescale to be undertaken. 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 54
  • 55. British Culture – In the workplace Communications British tend to be direct – “tell it like it is” We like to hear the truth – even if it painful Open discussions can take place – irrespective of grade or position in Company We can be very blunt with our comments – i.e. “it will never work” In presentations we will give good and bad news where required When decisions are made and agreed we expect them to be honoured 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 55
  • 56. British Culture – In the workplace Problem Solving Generally within the workplace problem solving will involve using one of several methods proven to help find ‘root cause’ Such problem solving methods are:- Fish bone analysis 8D analysis Brainstorming Root cause analysis Fault tree analysis Usually time will be taken to understand problem and find root cause before solutions are recommended and implemented This normally will save total time and cost to a solution FMEA’s are used to identify potential problems and tasks needed to be done to ensure these problems do not occur with a customer 上海汽车集团股份有限公司乘用车公司 SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Co. 56
