Japanese managers tend to rely on this style of communication

A) formal and written
B) formal and unwritten
C) informal and verbal
D) verbal and formal

Answer: C
Explanation: The culture of Japanese society tends to value consensus and collective achievement above individual achievement and status, causing Japanese managers to try to conduct personal consultations with others to arrive at consensus before taking definite action. This makes "informal and verbal" the correct response and rules out all other choices.
