Germany
Deductive thinking is by inference. The conclusion about particulars follows necessarily from general or universal premises. German processes and procedures are arrived at more deductively, based on standards and norms, which provide guidance on how to do the work.
United States
Inductive thinking is inference. It is a generalized conclusion based on particular instances. American processes and procedures are arrived at more inductively, based on experience, which provides guidance on how to do the work.
