Abstract
This paper complements and extends present research on the theory of cultural values evolution. It does so by focusing on the synergistic interaction of Chinese and Western problem solving influences of a strategic nature. It establishes the implications of such interactions and explains their nature at international boundaries. We thus contribute an additional theoretical foundation for further empirical research into the integration of culture and international economic variables applicable to IT/IS practice.
