Despite all the bluster to the contrary, in the US we avoid accepting responsibility for our actions at all costs. To the point that business schools now effectively teach that the correct strategy is to put your fingers in your ears, and yell "la la la" until somebody actually smacks you.
- drivingmenuts 8y agoThe legal climate here is different. If you accept responsibility, you will be sued, by victims for possible monetary losses and/or by prosecutors for possible criminal liability. If you stonewall, you might get sued for (see previous) but you might not if it's too expensive. I don't know if it's a social thing or a legal thing or some combination or what, but apparently it's harder to sue in other parts of the world.

- ryanwaggoner 8y agoWhich business schools are those?
- trobertson 8y agoHarvard Business School and its wannabes.
- ryanwaggoner 8y agoGive me a break. HBS does not teach students anything remotely close to ignoring problems and never taking responsibility for your actions.
