398 graduate and undergraduate business students from the USA, Japan, and Hong Kong were administered Kirton's (1976) Adaption-Innovation Inventory of decision style. Analysis of variance showed that mean group scores differed significantly with the U.S. respondents showing a preference for the Innovator style and the Chinese respondents the Adaptor style. Contrary to our hypotheses, the Japanese respondents did not show a clear preference for either style. We hypothesize that the differences among groups may be a function of cultural values and discuss the implications of our findings for managing cross-cultural teams.

K 12

Increasing student diversity in K-12 schools has gained attention in Japan and the US. In the US, racial diversity has historically shaped inequity in educational access and teacher quality. In Japan, regardless of its reputation for cultural homogeneity among its residents, issues surrounding student diversity have gained attention because of the increasing number of returnees—Japanese students raised overseas because of their parents’ expatriation.  This paper compares and contrasts the diversity issues in K-12 school settings in both countries, and explores potential approaches to improve the accommodation of diversity in K-12 schools.

Leisure Travelers

This research conducts a cross-cultural examination of leisure traveler's perceptions of travel importance, benefits, and constraints as predictors of travel behavior. Results from the both the US (n = 559) and Taiwanese (n = 500) samples indicate, as expected, that leisure travelers who perceive travel as more beneficial and important travel more frequently. Additionally, it was found that when people perceive a higher level of travel constraints, they naturally tend to consider leisure travel as less beneficial and important, which serves to reduce leisure travel. Whereas these relationships were both significant across both samples, the Taiwanese sample was shown to have a more favorable view of leisure travel and, therefore, tended to travel more frequently. These findings would appear to have meaningful theoretical and managerial implications for the tourism and lodging industries.
