You have gone to Japan to meet with another manager to discuss potential directions for the company. The other manager is Japanese and is slightly higher than you on the company ladder. During this meeting, the other manager makes a suggestion that you do not agree with. How should you respond? a “No. That idea isn’t going to work.” b “That’s an interesting idea. Let me think it over.” c “Sounds good. Let’s go ahead with your idea.” d “That could work, but I think I have a better idea.” e “That’s an interesting idea, but I think something else might work better.”

Option E

Explanation:

In simple words, one cannot directly reject the idea from a potential business partner as it can harden the relations for future also the other employee has a higher position in regard.

Thus, one has to make sure tat their way of talking remains respectable and at the same time they get their work done. Therefore, option E is the best one as the expression states that the manager agrees with the idea and appreciates the offer but wants to be open for other ideas also.

because he is using a description to provide evidence to support his argument.
