Week 8-1 Teamwork

In Chapter 8 page 214, authors talk about how terms like "Teamwork" means something very different in Japan than in the United States, in Sweden than in Israel. This is the exact issue that makes teamwork more important in United States. The definition of these terms and understanding is developed from a persons culture. In United States there are people from different countries especially in fields like Computers. This makes is really challenging to instill the sense of these terms as the meaning associated by various people is different. But by trying to clear explanation and written expectations of what the words mean in a particular organization the task will become easier for employees as they can then try to follow the instructions and adapt and understand.
