 Decolonizing and Re-Presenting Culture’s Consequences: A Postcolonial Critique of Cross-Cultural Studies in Management1Dennis Kwek Chapter Chapter 5 in Postcolonial Theory and Organizational Analysis: A Critical Engagement, 2003, pp 121-146 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract With businesses steadily increasing their international exposure and interaction, the past decade has seen an unparalleled interest in the cross-cultural aspects of management. Multinational and transnational firms are rapidly becoming the norm, bringing to the forefront a myriad of organizational and management issues ranging from international human-resource management practices to governance and control, from multinational organizational structures to managing cultural diversity. The international context is reflected in attempts by many management schools to “internationalize” their faculties and curricula, as well as in the increasing emphasis on cross-cultural management studies in both theoretical and practical arenas. It is against this emergent backdrop of concerns that the recent spate of cross-cultural management studies was initiated.2 Keywords: Cultural Dimension; Modern Science; National Culture; Postcolonial Theory; Western Discourse (search for similar items in EconPapers) There are no downloads for this item, see the EconPapers FAQ for hints about obtaining it.
