SOME TENTATIVE COMMENTS ON JAPANESE AND AMERICAN DECISION MAKING
探讨日本人与美国人在因果观念上的差异，并将其与生理脑结构关联，以解释两国管理实践的不同，对跨文化管理研究者有参考价值。
ABSTRACT Ample literature attests to the existence of differential views of causation held by Japanese as compared to Americans. Some new evidence links, in a rather complex manner, these differing causation maps to physiological brain structure. Review of this new evidence somewhat clarifies the nature of the differences in views of causation and preliminarily points toward the developmental phenomena underlying these differences. This, in turn, may help researchers interpret the differences in management practices existent within the two cultures under study.
