Abstract

This paper investigates the adoption of wood products certification for the promotion of sustainable forest management in Japan and the USA. Bolman and Deal's four frames for analysis of organizations are used as the basis for the investigation. The analysis shows that the cultural differences between the two countries revealed through the perspectives of social structure, political environment, human resource relationships, and control of symbols to influence public opinion and decision making lend support for North's observation that social instruments adopted by a society where they did not originate will not have the same results in the adoptive society.
