In North America,[edit]

we have the term "grass roots". As in, obtaining "grass roots" support for something. This seems to express the semantic idea of nemawashi, and, as a bonus, using the same metaphor of plant roots.

Quiet change from the bottom up within a hierarchical organization is just human psychology; not uniquely Japanese.

Then why have a separate article? I move that there should just be a footnote in "Grassroots".

Grassroots is more synonymous with a bottom up approach, or from a broad unempowered group, whereas nemawashi is more about getting feedback and approval prior to an official proposal. It's not about lower levels driving a change, the top manager could do the nemawashi, getting buy in from all of the interested parties prior to making a change.

Is the Joanne Dibble a real statement, or trolling? The four lines were inserted with out citation on 20:10, 29 October 2006.

Thanks, I took that out [1]. Kappa 06:33, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal[edit]

The following discussion is an archived debate.

The article Nemiwashi has an incorrectly spelled title and should be merged into this article. It has some sources that could be useful. Fg2 (talk) 20:56, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, the sources are not useful. One is a dead link and the other is not authoritative. Fg2 (talk) 11:51, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article Nemiwashi has been redirected to Nemawashi (correct spelling). Fg2 (talk) 20:38, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
