"Wild West" is a common way to refer to American-style business decisions in Germany.

I vaguely remember a Stern magazine cover from around 2004, depicting a giant cowboy boot with "GM" decorated with red, white and blue coming down on a crowd of people standing in the shape of the Opel logo and titled something like "Der Wild-West-Method."

It was clearly not a compliment.

(Correction: GM had owned Opel for decades at that point, but was getting more aggressive with how it was run)

In Norway, while we use "vill vest" (wild west) as well, we also use "Texas" as a synonym for "crazy". It's not necessarily negative ("that party was completely Texas" could imply it was crazy in a fun way depending on context) but it often is implying chaos and lawlessness.
