Learning Styles and Their Implications for Cross-Cultural Management in Singapore

Abstract The learning styles of Singaporean students were explored, and the findings were compared with those of two previous studies based on U.S. samples. The results indicated that the Singaporean students learned by abstract conceptualization and reflective observation, whereas their U.S. counterparts learned by concrete experience and active experimentation. The students' learning styles were reflected in the capabilities of U.S. and Singaporean managers.
