Excerpt from Cultural Assumptions, Productivity and Innovation: Understanding the United States Through Contrast, With the People's Republic of China
In making this analysis, I worked from the position that the study of another culture is highly useful as a means of understanding one's own culture better, not that one culture should borrow from another. This approach allows for and uses the heightened awareness of contrast as a method of illumination.
I do not conclude by proposing another theory, such as Theory 2 (ouchi, but I h0pe through this presentation to remind the reader that cultures are not fixed, closed systems which can be understood in static, mechanistic terms.
