From Me to We... and Back Again
通过比较组织间行为模式,研究了9·11事件后美国社会在个人主义与集体主义之间的动态转变,并预测危机过后将恢复常态。
The events of September 11, 2001, unified our nation. But how long can this unity last? I examine the dynamics of the national shift between individualism (“me”) and communalism (“we”) on the heels of September 11 through comparison with analogous patterns in interorganizational behavior. Based on these patterns, I conclude that, despite the severity of the crisis, the United States will again return to “business as usual”.
