      abstract = {This book explores the differences in cultural attributes  and management factors to enable managers working for  Japanese contractors to reduce misunderstandings and  misinterpretations when communicating with project team  members from different cultural backgrounds. It focuses on  Japanese contractors operating in Singapore, since the  Singapore construction industry has, for many years, been  one of the largest overseas construction markets for the  top-5 Japanese contractors. Using Hofstedes national  cultural framework for the cultural studies in construction  project management, it reveals various real-world  management practices and discusses national cultural  differences relating to managers working for Japanese  contractors in Singapore as well as the communication  weaknesses of current management practices and styles. The  results presented provide useful lessons for Japanese  contractors operating in Singapore, as well as other parts  of the world, to bridge cultural and communication gaps.},
