What is the topic of this conversation?

W: What topic did you finally Choose for the term paper for your World Economics class?
M: After thinking about a few ideas, I finally settled on the difference between Japanese and American styles of management.
W: Hmm. Why did you choose a topic like that?
M: Well, I’m planning to study Business in graduate school next year. After that, I hope to start my own company.
W: Isn’t that a coincidence! I’m also doing a paper on how Japanese management styles are being adapted by American firms for my Comparative Cultures class.
M: Why don’t we sit down and share some of our sources after we’ve each been to the library?
W: Great idea! Should we meet at the snack bar next Wednesday at this time?
M: That’s fine with me. See you then.
