Thomas, Jane
Business Communication Quarterly, v61 n4 p9-22 Dec 1998
Compares responses to a timed writing assignment by students from South Korea and from the United States. Finds that South Korean texts showed more similarities to than differences from the American texts, and suggests a more complex context situation than the commonly accepted high context/low context model of cultural differences can accommodate.
