We've all been to meetings that have a loose agenda, if any at all. They don't start on time and they seem to repeat as stragglers wander in. Not so in these countries. Japanese users of Do.com, an online meeting platform, are more likely to create a detailed agenda and pass out supporting documents several days prior to a meeting than meeting goers in any other country, according to founder Jason Shah.

我们开过会的人应该都参加过时间规划松散的会议。开会时间不准时，迟到的人进来，还要重复一遍之前的话。但在这些国家就不是这样。在线会议平台网站Do.com的创始人杰森•沙阿说，利用他们的平台，日本人比其它国家的会议组织者更倾向于创建详细的会议日程，开会前几天就把辅助文件分发出去。

"People [in Japan] are cognisant of how much time remains and don't go over," said Shah. It's expected that you'll understand the written materials ahead of the meeting. If a meticulously planned meeting runs over the allotted time, the gathering might be deemed uNPRoductive, he adds. Ultimately, it can lead to a negative outcome because participants may be seen as inefficient.

沙阿说，“日本人能够意识到还剩多少时间，并且不会重复已经说过的话。”他还说，你应该开会之前就对书面材料有所了解。如果精心规划的会议超出了预定时间，那么他们就会认为这次会议是低效的。最终可能会导致不好的结果，因为管理者可能会认为与会者没有效率。
