Abstract
In Chapter 1, we proposed exploring the difference between cognition processes used by Westerners and those used by Asians. We also elaborated on a list of issues to be addressed in relation to this.
Before discussion of our main topic (that is the difference between how Asians and Westerners use inductive and deductive thinking in strategic business situations), as well as various ancillary issues related to this (discussed in Chapters 6 and 7), we conducted a literature review. Our purpose has been to examine the issue from various angles, which, albeit not exhaustive of all possible approaches, will shed light on the aspects we consider relevant to our study.
