It's the Japanese way, don't do anything productive, make loads of photocopies and have meetings which last for hours and accomplish nothing!
This is actually a valid point. All non Japanese that have been involved in japanese teams in rally or formula 1 have mentioned the differences in how to run an organization.

TTE is one of the few that have worked, but that was a very european organization, with a known swede on top !
