Managing cultures: first foreigner running Sony

BBC quotes Nobuyuki Idei, chief corporate adviser of Sony, commenting on the first foreign CEO, Sir Howard Stringer:

Mr Idei said Sir Howard had retained his Welsh sense of humour.

Japanese executives were studying how to understand his jokes, he said - “but Welsh humour is very difficult to understand.”

Poor Japanese executives.
