OD in Cross-Cultural Settings: Latin America
以美国和拉丁美洲为例，探讨将组织发展这一社会技术从发达国家转移到发展中国家时可能遇到的障碍、文化差异以及促进因素，并为国际组织发展实践者和管理者提供规范性建议。
What problems may one encounter in the cross-cultural transfer of a social technology from developed to developing countries? Using the U.S. and Latin America as examples, the authors describe the obstacles and cultural differences, as well as the similarities and facilitating factors, which must be taken into account when a cross-cultural application of organizational development is contemplated. A set of normative presciptions is provided for the aspiring international OD practitioner, as well as for the practicing manager who is considering the employment of OD techniques within his or her own Latin-based operations.
