Darron Passlow, Business Consultant, Australia
"The SECI concept was developed (and works extremely well) for Japanese businesses (culture). I would be interested in how it is applied in Japan.
I believe it will not work well in western cultures that have a hierarchical approach to management (top down), where the boss "knows it all" and tells you what to do."

Implementing SECI in Western Cultures
razi efron, Israel
"Dear Mr. Passlow, you are right referring to "hierarchical top-down know it all cultures"
Highly supported by many consulting firms. However the current dynamic circumstances and their effects on the business results bring many companies to look for "top-down bottom-up" solutions where "our" SECI is based on a humanitarian approach.
The workers will cooperate and follow reasonable solutions once you find the right mixture of "stick & carrot".
We are currently developing a SECI-BA system for a hierarchical organization.
Next year I'll tell if it is manageable..." |

Can the SECI Process Be Applied Across Different Cultures?
Andy Wong, Hong Kong
"I think the SECI process suits the eastern culture where people join together, like to a bath, to discuss through socialization and the rest of the process, externalization. And spiral again and again.
But I wonder if it suits other cultures, in particular the USA, where individualism is at the core." |

SECI Cases in Western Cultures
Darron Passlow, Aust Realia
"@Razi Efron: You said you were about to try the SECI model in an hierarchical firm.
How did it go? Is there anything you can report yet.
I am still trying to find one example of where SECI is used outside Japan, I do have examples from colleagues of Nonaka San of its use in Japan. Regards." |
