"It really works like this": Hybrid forms of management culture in Thailand and Israel

Baruch Shimoni

European Management Journal, 2011, vol. 29, issue 2, 155-163

Abstract: Summary Interviews with Thai and Israeli managers of two global corporations headquartered in Sweden and the US show how these managers negotiate their own everyday management practices in relation to the corporate practices. Through this negotiation, the local managers, keeping highly regarded management practices of their own while adopting values and practices from the corporations' management cultures, produce new hybrid forms of management culture. The article concludes with a discussion of theoretical and practical implications of the negotiation and hybridization of the two corporations' management cultures by the local managers.
