Question Description
Direction: Read the passage given below and then answer the questions given below the passage. Some words may be highlighted for your attention.The big fuss about consensus management is an issue that boils down to a lot of noise about not much. The consensus advocates are great admirers of the Japanese management style. Consensus is what Japan is famous for. Well, I know the Japanese fairly well: They still remember Douglas MacArthur with respect, and they still bow down to their Emperor. In my dealings with them, I found that they talk a lot about consensus, but theres always one guy behind the scenes who ends up making the tough decisions. It doesnt make sense to me to think that Mr. Toyoda or Mr. Morita of Sony sits around in committee meetings and says, "Weve got to get everybody in this organization, from the janitor up, to agree with this move".

So, were wasting time trying to emulate something I dont think really exists.Business structures are microcosms of other structures. There were no corporations in the fifteenth century. But there were families. There were city governments, provinces, and armies. There was the Church. All of them had, for lack of a better word, a pecking order.Why? Because thats the only way you can steer clear of anarchy. Otherwise, youll have somebody come in one morning and tell you: "Yesterday I got tired of painting red convertibles, so today I switched to all baby-blues on my own". Youll never get anything done right that way.Whats to admire about consensus management anyway? By its very nature, its slow. It can never be daring. There can never be real accountability - or flexibility. About the only plus that Ive been able to figure out is that consensus management means consistency of direction and objectives. And so much consistency can become faceless, and thats a problem too. In any event, I dont think it can work in this country. The fun of business for entrepreneurs, big or small, lies in the free enterprise system, not in the greatest agreement by the greatest number.Business structures are microcosms of other structures.

The consensus advocates are great admirers of the Japanese management style. Consensus is what Japan is famous for. Well, I know the Japanese fairly well: They still remember Douglas MacArthur with respect, and they still bow down to their Emperor. In my dealings with them, I found that they talk a lot about consensus, but theres always one guy behind the scenes who ends up making the tough decisions.
