This places time in a different perspective. In Japan the Western deadline approach is secondary to a thorough job. Owing to this difference in emphasis, the Japanese are thorough in their meetings as well as in their production. Thus Americans are often frustrated by the many successive meetings in many Japanese businesses. But where the American is pressing for a specific decision, the Japanese is trying to devise a rather broad direction. On the other hand, once a given agreement is made, it is the Japanese who sometimes wonder at the slow pace in which Westerners implement the decision. The Japanese are eager to move forward and Westerners, perhaps, lag behind as they take the time for in-depth planning.
这就产生了对时间的不同见解。在日本，把工作做得全面、彻底比西方那种按限期完成工作的态度更受推崇。由于侧重点的不同，日本人不仅在生产上讲求彻底，开会也讲求彻底。因此，美国人对许多日本公司接二连三的会议感到很厌烦。美国人总是急于做出具体决策，而日本人却试图制定一个大方向。 另一方面，一旦签署了某个协议，却常常是日本人惊讶于西方人履行协议时的拖沓。日本人急于前行，而西方人因需要时间作细计划，则可能落后。
