Subordinates' responses to cultural adaptation by Japanese expatriate managers

Article Abstract:

The interaction between Japanese managers and their American subordinates is a management issue that emerged from the influx of Japanese business in the US. To identify the responses of the subordinates to the cultural adaptation of their Japanese bosses to American behaviors, an experimental setting was constructed. Results of the investigation showed that moderate-level adaptation produced more positive effect than did high-level adaptation or no adaptation. Causal attributions and perceptions of similarity on the behavioral response of subordinates and their perceptionns of managerial effectiveness likewise had effects.

Religiosity and nationality: an exploratory study of their effect on consumer behavior in Japan and the United States

Article Abstract:

The influence of religiosity and nationality on consumer behavior are studied through samples of American Protestants and Japanese consumers. Results show that consumer behavior varied by nationality. Japanese consumers preferred locally-made products, while Americans made buying decisions based on prices. On the other hand, religiosity had no significant effect on Japanese consumers while Protestants were found to be price conscious.
