Research Note: Run Silent, Run Deep — Cultural Influences on Organizations in the Far East
针对组织是否受文化影响的争论,本文指出中国和日本文化传统存在重大差异,这些差异在组织结构和运营中体现出来,反驳了二者共享相同儒家文化的观点。
There is a continuing debate regarding the extent to which organizations are culture-free or culture bound. A recent article suggests that while cultural factors are important in the growth of organizations, they are less important in terms of structural characteristics. This same article also suggests that Japanese and Chinese organizations share the same basic Confucian culture. We argue here that the Chinese and Japanese cultural traditions have major differences and that these play out in terms of important differences in organizational structure and operations.
