Differences between Chinese and Western Companies in project management (from an interesting PowerPoint)

One day when I was programming in my office, my team member sent me a PowerPoint talking about project management. And he mentioned one slide and asked me to take a look at it carefully. So i went to that slide directly and took a close look at it. The slide had 4 diagrams inside. Each of them was a comparison between Chinese project management and western project management. However, I could only remember 3 of them now.

The first one was about solving a problem. The Chinese employee would drop by a large number of people and then came to the target.According to my understanding, this means that in China, you have to maintain a huge grid of relationships in order to work through some problems. Not all the problem could be solved by the paper rule. Sometimes a permission from some top person would solve the problem in one minute, while the dislike of a boss may keeps your nice solution outside the door. However, in western countries, team may focus on solving the problem. So the employee would just go straight towards the problem. They have clear procedure and steps. Hence in the diagram the arrow showed a very clear path for the western employee to reach the goal.

The second one was about the classification of employees and employers. The Chinese employees in the diagram were a group of small characters while their manager was a big-sized character with an outstanding color. I assume that means the Chinese boss would have more power and use a top-down management to manage his employees. In western side, everyone looked the same. You could hardly distinguish them. For this point, I agree with the idea here for sure. Since my manager has never behaved like a Chinese boos to me, I would say he is more like an experienced friend.

The third one was showing the situation when employees are facing some problems. The Chinese would took a look at the problem. and then if possible, bypassed the hole(stands for the problem). The western employee would be in the contrary. He would just go straight toward the problem and try to solve it as much as possible. I am not sure whether it is always a good idea to face the problem directly or bypass it. But I know we need to be smart when facing a problem. There is no a stereotype for all the problems.

Perhaps you have seen these pictures before, but I think you get my idea now. In all, it is just an interesting comparison of project management between these two parties.
