| Abstract: | Information exchange within U.S. and Japanese firms is explored. Usage of traditional communication forms (verbal, documents, conferences), FAX, and computer based information technologies (computers, electronic ordering systems, local area networks, point-of-sale systems, and value added networks) are examined. While U.S. firms are found to adopt computer based technologies more aggressively, Japanese firms utilize FAX transmission more. To explain pattern differences, two cultural theories are contrasted. E.T. Hall's communication context theory is more consistent with the findings than Geert Hofstede's work-related values dimensions. |
