The maps contrast an overview of a common Japanese office to an American office.
Overall the Japanese office is well organised and easy to maneuver compared to the American office.The set up might vary but they also have similarities.
The Japanese office is led by a Department manager.The position is clearly visible.Beneath the Department manager is the section manager.There is order ,moreover one can easily tell the hierarchy of leadership in this specific type of office.The set up here clearly indicates that the rest of the staff have to sit in one confined area.This could help build the relationship of the coworkers.
In the American office,there is no defined order,its not easy to tell the hierarchy of leadership .However ome thing that stands out is that the American office is well equipped hence the office set up is easy to work in.There are various functional offices in this set up.The other staff members don’t sit in one pool meaning everyone is independent and must not build a relationship with each colleague. The main difference with the Japanese office is the layout and the capacitation.American offices are well capacitated compared to Japanese offices.
With that said,I this both the Japanese and American offices are functional with important departments marked.
