Download or read book Organizations and National Culture written by Monir H. Tayeb and published by Sage Publications (CA). This book was released on 1988 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizations and National Culture presents an analysis and empirical testing of competing perspectives in organizational theory on the influence of social context on organizational structure and organizational behaviour Drawing on a comparative analysis undertaken in England and India, Monir Tayeb explores the impact of culture and other societal factors on organizational structure, management systems and employees' work attitudes and values. The author both investigates similarities and differences in the ways English and Indian companies and employees respond to their social and cultural environments, and relates these to the significant part that technical and other task-related factors play in the process. Tayeb argues that it is the "combined "factors of culture, political economy and contingency which define employees' attitudes to people in positions of power and authority, their ability to cope with ambiguity and uncertainty, and their expectations from a job. In conclusion the author outlines a multi-perspective model in which contributions of cultural contingency and political economic theories are recognized and incorporated. This model offers a more comprehensive and realistic cross-cultural understanding of organizations, providing the means to examine both formal organizational structure and employee behaviour.

Download or read book Eastern and Cross Cultural Management written by N. K. Singh and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This path-breaking book liberates management thinking from a century of Western subjugation. It is a comparative exposition of culture and management styles in India, Japan, China and major Western countries. There is a need to protect and sustain each country’s identity and positive strengths in values while interlinking global business with cross cultural empathy. The book explores profiles of culture-management axis through secondary literature study in various languages of the East, empirical research conducted with nearly one thousand managers and 375 organizations in India. The effective management in the next millennium will be mission-based strategic integration of the team, combined with people-sensitive approach. In spite of growth of hi-tech, the emotional human issues will dominate the coming decades. Happiness and health in institutions will largely depend on successive sacrifice of greed and possessiveness in creation of wealth for human development. The meltdown in the US and its repercussions in the world are direct outcome of failure to learn these lessons. Already the world is witnessing acute consciousness of interdependence and universal linkages. This is the quintessence of Vedanta, Zen-Buddhism and Sufi order in the Eastern globe. West-dominated management technology must now synthesize with Eastern intuition and values. The book is divided into three parts: First part delves into East-West psyche; second part presents Integration-Affection Model as potential approach to effective Management. Third part shows the author’s successful applications of the approach in different organizations while working as Chief Executive or Consultant.
Download or read book Cambridge Handbook of Culture Organizations and Work written by Rabi S. Bhagat and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-04 with total page 1333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now widely recognized that countries around the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and that both public and private organizations are of necessity becoming increasingly global. As political, legal, and economic barriers recede in this environment, cultural barriers emerge as a principal challenge to organizational survival and success. It is not yet clear whether these global realities will cause cultures to converge, harmonize, and seek common ground or to retrench, resist, and accentuate their differences. In either case, it is of paramount importance for both managers and organizational scholars to understand the cultural crosscurrents underlying these changes. With contributions from an international team of scholars, this book reviews, analyzes, and integrates available theory and research to give the best information possible concerning the role of culture and cultural differences in organizational dynamics.

Download or read book Examining Organizational Culture in a Systemic Business education Partnership written by Shari Ferris-Adamek and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, 'Partnerships' involving public education and business have proliferated across North America. While this phenomenon has become the subject of considerable examination, discussion and debate, there remains a significant gap in our understanding about organizational culture in these linkages. To address that gap, this dissertation has sought to determine how to study organizational culture in such a complex interorganizational relationship, and what characteristics and conceptions of organizational culture can be revealed through such an examination. The locus of this five year investigation was The Toronto Learning Partnership (TLP), an interorganizational network connecting seventeen area school boards and hundreds of Canadian companies. The lived, inter-cultural experience of TLP participants was uncovered through extensive fieldwork and a variety of data-gathering techniques. Employing a 'cultural relativist' viewpoint, the particular nature of TLP was ethnographically represented in the form of a case study that sequentially chronicled its personalities, development and operation. In addition, through the application of a 'cultural rationalist' approach, observed and perceived cultural manifestations were juxtaposed in tables under fourteen categories of working life. By means of constant comparison within and between these two 'modes of knowing', grounded theory was developed to both describe and explain culture 'of' and 'in' this partnership. The Learning Partnership proved to be a window through which six distinct conceptions of culture could be witnessed, including: the distinct and different ' organizational cultures' of TLP, business and education; distinct and different 'organizational sub-cultures' within TLP, business and education; the similar 'trans-organizational sub-culture' of management across business and education; 'cultural ambiguity' with respect to roles in TLP, business and education; and a 'cultural mosaic' reflecting and explaining all of the aforementioned cultural forms. This dissertation also discusses some implications of its cultural findings relative to the literature on organizational culture, to the act of research and to The Learning Partnership. The work represents a new means by which different organizational cultures can be studied, simultaneously.
