Toward a Theory of Comparative Management Research: An Idiographic Case Study of The Best International Human Resources Management Project
通过记录一个跨国、跨文化、跨学科研究联盟的演变过程,总结关键经验,提出比较管理研究方法的中层理论雏形,对从事国际管理研究的学者有参考价值。
Cross-cultural international management research is complex, costly, and frequently, nonrigorous. This idiographic study documents the evolution of a multinational, multicultural, interdisciplinary research consortium that sought to remedy this lack of rigor in a project investigating international human resource management practices. We identify key learning points derived from this project and conclude with the rudiments of a midrange theory of a comparative management research methodology.
