Comparative analysis and evaluation of the duration perspective in Japanese and American strategic management models : a research study into the question of optimum timeframe selection for American corporate strategic management

The purpose of this research was the evaluation of the
American Strategic Duration Perspective, generally accepted
and often criticized for being performance based shorttermism,
to the detriment of its long term economic sustenance.
The study sampled three hundred and thirty one corporate
strategic leaders in three categories, namely; American,
Japanese and Japanese-American. The survey instrument was
a written, cross sectional, questionnaire.
The study evaluated the American Strategic Duration
Perspective in contrast to; the Japanese Strategic Duration
Perspective, generally accepted as long-termism, secondly,
by measuring Japanese-American SDP. adaptation made in
relation or response to the American Operating Environment.
The traditional Japanese-American Strategic Duration
Perspective is Japanese long-termism. Thus, JapaneseAmerican
SDP. adjustment to the American Operating
Environment would "objectively' demonstrate whether the
American Strategic Duration Perspective was an appropriate
subjective (Japanese-American) perception or not.
The data reflected that not only had the Japanese-American
sample become more American in Strategic Duration
Perspective, but that the Japanese had themselves shortened
their SDP. "independent" of the American Operating
Environment. These facts supported the status quo American
Strategic Duration Perspective. Further, the shortening of
Strategic Duration Perspective by the Japanese sample
reflects a broader, global trend toward an increasingly RealTimestrategic management model / Economic and Management Sciences / D. BL.
