according to Aksana KavalchukCross-Cultural Management:How to Do Business with Germans
The German understanding of the professional:
Performing assignments quickly is not a virtue that is very highly valued in Germany. Nothing of proper quality can be accomplished if we orient ourselves only towards speed. In other words, according to the German logic, speed and quality are often mutually exclusive con- cepts in the business context. If quality suffers, then arguments such as 'we need it ASAP', 'the quicker the better' simply won't work. In Ger- many, you can often hear people respond like this to attempts to speed up a process: 'It takes time to make a quality product'. Another expla- nation whydecisionsarenotalwaystakenwithlightningspeedinGer- many is connected with the fact that a large number of parties, i.e., organisational structures, are involved in management processes. The principle of participation and the desire to balance various inter- ests (by thoroughly discussing problems and coordinating approaches 1to overcoming them) may lead to quite a time-consuming decision- making process as compared to other countries.
