Global and Cross-Cultural Management Management and Organizational Studies Cultural Differences and Values

Abstract

Despite the intuitive relation between national and organizational culture, empirical research relating the two phenomena is sparse. This article compares the national and organizational cultures of India, Brazil, and the USA, uncovering a significant but complex relationship. Clusters are found in all three countries that both systematically replicate and reject national values. Possible reasons for these `isomorphic' and `rejective' responses to national culture are explored and their theoretical implications developed.
