dc.description The Second International Conference on the Roles of Humanities and Social Science in Engineering (ICoHSE 2010) organized by Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 12th - 14th November 2010 at Bayview Beach Resort, Penang, Malaysia.
dc.description.abstract The paper introduces a proposed decision making model based on two different conventional decision making processes. The aim is to develop an appropriate model for any organization in Malaysian and to assess its implications for change in a contextual global context. The Japanese decision making procedure is one model considered. This, the ringit system, uses a bottom up approach. The United State‘s procedure is the other whereby a centralized system follows a top-down approach. The two systems are analyzed to establish why the systems have developed differently in each country. Certain cultural dimensions, such as power distance and individualism (Geert Hofstede and Gert Jan Hofstede (2005), are considered as factors. These useful interpretations of homogeneous and heterogeneous societies are used to understand the culture of America and Japan with their different ethnic and social contexts. This analysis of the two different cultural dimensions provides the basis for developing a decision making model for Malaysia. This model is put forward for use by Malaysian decision makers to achieve their missions and visions. A preliminary assessment is undertaken of the implications of the model for decision making for Malaysian engineering in a global context.
