Ethnic Assimilation and Corporate Group

Abstract: Among the modes of accommodation which occur in the contact between different cultural groups are fusion and assimilation. Both are processes which result in changes in membership and in the eventual disappearance of one or more of the original groups. As defined here, assimilation is a process by which part or all of a membership group becomes part of another group and these people are no longer identified with the original group. For instance, the descendants of many Chinese immigrants in Thailand have been assimilated and are today considered Thai.2 Fusion differs in that the members of two groups merge into a new entity, such as the fusion of Spanish and Indians emerging as the Mexican nation.3
