The Influence of Cultural Factors on Corporate Training in East Asia

Author(s):  
Doris Lee

In the context of the increasing economic importance of the Pacific Rim, the unique historical and cultural factors that impact organizational and corporate culture in the East Asian business world have been the subject of much discussion. East Asian culture and its attendant philosophical influences will first be discussed. Improving corporate training in East Asian business can be aided by the application of a whole-system approach that is able to encompass the cultural and philosophical background of East Asian business. Drawing from systems theory, human resource management, and instructional systems design, this chapter will propose suggestions for East Asian corporate training. In addition, suggestions for online learning design using this theoretical background will be established.

Under socialist development, the contemporary Chinese Communist Party (CCP) refashions thought management with a changed message. The Party increasingly promotes Chinese cultural values, through a policy of designed corporate culture programs within state-owned and private enterprises. The culture is one that inculcates corporate cultural values “imported” from corporate culture discourses in the Western business world. A curious “translation of ideas” has occurred, ideas that have traveled from the Korean Peninsula and War, through the boardrooms of corporate America and into the mundane practices of the CCP, to build corporate culture. At the core of this culture are practices that Schein has termed coercive persuasion. This article discusses the role of coercive persuasion in two sites: (a) China’s state-owned enterprises and (b) private businesses and social organizations. We conclude that as ideas travel, they may change in substance, whereas in form and functionality, they remain surprisingly similar.

<p>This study intended to rediscover the concepts of mathematical induction and to develop a learning module that can make the students be more appreciative of mathematical induction. Specifically, this investigation aimed to measure the levels of knowledge and attitude of students towards mathematical induction. Guided by the ADDIE (Analysis-Design-Development-Implementation Evaluation) instructional systems design framework, the researchers employed the descriptive method and purposively chose 8 mathematics students whose attitude and cognitive levels were to be assessed using valid and reliable research instruments (α’s of 0.85 and 0.86). Findings revealed that the revisitation of the concept significantly increased the cognitive level but such intervention did not improve the attitude level of the students.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Math education, mathematical induction, revisitation, attitude, cognitive, mathematics students, Philippines</p><div> </div>

Because of the West’s scarce labor situation, hop growers early on recognized the need to hire workers from all walks of life, including men and women, old and young, and across racial and ethnic lines. From the beginning, the three-week hop harvest was a multicultural affair that revealed the diversity of the West. The first half of this chapter explains the English origins of the American harvest season, including the actual demands and the festiveness of the harvest that many called a paid vacation. The second half of the chapter explains the opportunities and challenges that American Indian and East Asian agricultural workers faced while working in the Pacific Northwest hopyards during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
