Application : Japanese believe in Decision Making Through Consensus. All the decisions are taken through this rout only. That is why their implementation is foolproof.
However, building a consensus takes time. It means many pre-meetings before the main meeting and a lot of give and take between the concerned parties. When the day of the final meeting arrives, all are in agreement and then the decision gets implemented fast.
