Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 會計學系 === 88 === With the success of Asian four dragons (including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, and Singapore), people in scholars and enterprises started to realize the cultural differences between Eastern and Western countries. In tradition, American and Japanese enterprises have significantly cultural differences.

With continuous effort in the past two decades, Taiwanese enterprises have successfully created a marvelously economic miracle surprising to Western people. It is worthy to compare the management systems between these three countries’ enterprises hiring Taiwanese people but with a different maternal culture in Taiwan. Whether they still keep their maternal cultures in Taiwan and form the differences in rewarding system is an interest topic.
