对日本公司而言，这似乎相当困难。日本公司以共识为基础进行决策，当出现问题时不愿向上级反映。

This seems to be something that is particularly difficult for Japanese firms, with their consensus-based decision-making and a reluctance to tell superiors when problems arise.

如果一个人有问题，经常是直接向上级反映。

If one had a problem, an appeal directly to the top was not uncommon.
