Do Organizational Cultures Replicate National Cultures? Isomorphism, Rejection and Reciprocal Opposition in the Corporate Values of Three Countries
比较印度、巴西和美国三国的国家文化与组织文化,发现组织文化既会复制也会排斥国家价值观,并探讨了这种复杂关系的理论含义。
Despite the intuitive relation between national and organizational culture, empirical research relating the two phenomena is sparse. This article compares the national and organizational cultures of India, Brazil, and the USA, uncovering a significant but complex relationship. Clusters are found in all three countries that both systematically replicate and reject national values. Possible reasons for these `isomorphic' and `rejective' responses to national culture are explored and their theoretical implications developed.
