Abstract: Abstract This study investigates empowerment implementation from Macro-perspective. By categorizing organisational structure into two types and examining companies in China and Japan, we adopted a multi-case study approach to explore empowerment in eight high-tech companies. Based on our two-by-two matrix, the finding revealed the unique features of empowerment across two countries. Meanwhile, based on our cases, we suggest four propositions for high-tech companies to explore the value of empowerment. This study contributes to understanding empowerment in diverse organizational and cultural contexts and offers practical propositions for managers to effectively implement empowerment in the future.
