I actually think that the national difference in management style and philosophy is becoming more equal due to the globalization of the business.
If you enter the offices of Shipmanagement companies in Singapore or Hong Kong, where many of them are located, you will find a multinational staff, regardless of whether the nominal origin of the company is say German, Norwegian or Japanese etc. This goes even for companies that is originally Chinese.
(I don’t know of any US origin Shipmanagement companies operating in either place)
In fact you will probably find a majority of Indians in the upper and middle management level, with maybe Brits next in line.
