The term 'implicit systems' is frequently used in organizational psychology, cognitive science, and technology sectors in both American and Brazilian contexts. In Brazilian business culture, understanding implicit systems is crucial as many organizational practices rely on unspoken hierarchies and cultural nuances. In the United States, there has been increasing emphasis on making implicit systems explicit to promote transparency and reduce bias, particularly in educational and corporate environments.
