Document Summary
Earley & mosakowski (2004) suggested four elements to the construct: knowledge of new cultures, self-efficacy, culturally appropriate behavior in other cultures, learning strategies. Navaho, mexican-american: defined culture as a way of making sense of problems and challenges in societies, their work was a building block for research on culture in organizations. Etic approach: culture linked to people"s values, categorization along bi-polar dimensions, matched samples or experimental conditions, external measurable features, some changes needed, need to allow for culture shift, multi-cultural societies changing the focus. It facilitated the clustering of countries: anglo / germanic / nordic / latin european / latin american / near. The reality of ccm is that challenges require the use of both approaches. A comparative model is essential in: organizations that must manage employees in various locations across the world, organizations that attract employees from various parts of the world.
