Opis

This volume explores decision-making styles, including cooperative, collaborative, avoidant, competitive, and dominate that are commonly modified by the culture. Culture is not a stagnant phenomenon, and many variables need to be considered to accurately evaluation cultural differences in decision-making styles. Among many cultural factors, the individual ("I" culture) collectivism ("we" culture) dimension is one of the most important influential factor to be considered when studying culture difference, including decision-making styles."
