大学英语六级考试阅读单词第十三期

　　Harvard Business School professor George Lodge calls the ritual acceptance of blame almost a feudal way of purging the community of dishonor, and to some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly. However, in an era in which both business and governmental leaders seem particularly good at evading responsibility, many US managers would probably welcome an infusion of the Japanese sense of responsibility, If, for instance, US automobile company executives offered to reduce their own salaries before they asked their workers to take pay cuts, negotiations would probably take on a very different character.
