Some Tentative Comments on Japanese and American Decision Making
Article Abstract:
There is a difference in the way Japanese and Americans perceive causation. The Japanese utilize an environmental model of causation. The Americans utilize a response model. The American approach is abstract in concept while the Japanese approach is concrete. These cognitive model differences may be related to the physiology of the brain. Implications for research on managerial decision making are summarized. A literature review is provided.
