Conflicts and complements between eastern cultures and agile methods: an empirical investigation
研究了中国、印度和韩国组织中东方文化如何与敏捷方法相互作用，发现文化脚本常表现为集体主义反应，并与敏捷方法存在互补和冲突，还探讨了组织如何通过双元实践缓解冲突。
Agile methods have been widely adopted around the world – particularly in the Eastern world, where cultural scripts differ from that of the West from where agile methods originated. However, there is a lack of understanding of the interplay between the basic tenets of agile methods and the Eastern cultures. This understanding is crucial for the effective use of the methods in these cultures. To examine how Eastern cultural phenomena interplay with agile methods, we followed an emic approach in a multisite case study. We examined the adaptation of agile practices in organizations in China, India, and South Korea. We developed a framework describing how Eastern cultural scripts often express the collectivist response to cultural theoretical concepts and how the cultural response interacts in complementary and conflicting ways with agile methods. To explore how conflicts are mitigated, we examined the ways organizations develop ambidextrous practices.
