Creativity, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship Across Cultures

Abstract

This chapter investigates the correlation between the Japanese and English writing formats and syntax with respect to management and creativity of the Japanese and Americans. As creativeness is known to be born from the lateral movements of brain activity, the authors of this chapter try to demonstrate that creativeness comes naturally from the syntax. They also discuss how management styles can be attributed to both the language and cultural differences.
