Through the Business Scholars Program, I got the opportunity to visit a Honda plant in Marysville, Ohio. During this experience I was able to hear from Ohio State alumni who work at Honda, tour their factory, and explore the Honda Museum. This experience provided me with the opportunity to see large scale manufacturing in action. However, it also taught be about the cultural differences in business between Japan and the United States. Honda has all employees wear the same uniform to represent equality in the workplace. This practice comes from Japan where, unlike in America, not much emphasis is placed on promotion and status. Overall, visiting the Honda plant exposed me to, not only the inner-workings of a large company but, also, the cultural differences that come with a global business.
