Organization Development and National Culture: Where's the Fit?
基于文化模型,比较组织发展的价值观与40个国家的文化价值观,分析具体干预措施的契合度,解释组织发展在海外应用的问题,并提供文化敏感性的干预指南。
Organization development is one of many American management techniques utilized overseas. Based on an empirically derived model of culture, the underlying values of OD are compared to those that predominate in 40 countries. Specific OD interventions are then examined separately to determine their fit with the values of these countries. The results help explain why OD has encountered problems and provide guidelines for selecting and carrying out interventions in a culturally sensitive manner.
