`In Another Country' or the Relativization of Management Learning
探讨了管理风格和实践在全球范围内存在差异的原因,以五个主要工业国家为例,主张用情境化理解替代国际相遇视角。
While there are powerful reasons for expecting management style and practice to be the same around the world, the weight of evidence of the last 15 or so years suggests that this is not the case, that there are a range of differences. These differences are explored at some length with regard to five major industrial countries. It is also suggested that there has been a tendency to view business relationships between countries/cultures in terms of international encounter, and this paper argues instead for a more sustained approach that emphasizes in-context understanding.
