摘要:
AbstractThe transition from centralized command economies to market orientation requires many adaptations of thinking and practice. The question raised by this article is whether social science can make a useful contribution to the adjustment between two incompatible systems of organizing economic life. The first issue is how to handle the propensity to resist change which is based on a natural system preference for predictability and equilibrium. Second, if resistance can be overcome, can social science contribute to the establishment of a new and superior equilibrium? The Motivated Competence Model is outlined as a contribution toward a better utilization of competence. The model is supported by evidence from research on sociotechnical issues and democratic decision‐making procedures. It is argued that while the evidence in support of these practices comes mainly from Western organizations, it includes research in Yugoslavia, and may be especially relevant to the rehabilitation of countries having to make radical change

摘要:
AbstractIn staffing their overseas operations, Japanese firms generally maintain a view that prime positions should be held by the home‐country personnel. Having thus decided not to follow the European or American pattern of overseas operations, Japanese firms continue to rely very heavily on their own managerial resources to run fast‐expanding operations abroad. However, contrary to a general impression that Japanese managers are adept at working in foreign environments, our study of Japanese subsidiaries in Hong Kong points out that the success rate of their expatriate assignments is not necessarily as high as the figures widely reported by studies conducted elsewhere. This article will attempt to determine the causes of problems related to managerial assignments abroad by examining the practices employed by Japanese firms in the selection and training of managers for overseas assignme

摘要:
AbstractNegotiation has three elements: predisposing factors, process, and outcomes. Process is the art and outcomes is the science of negotiation. Culture adds a new consideration that affects each element. Culture's effects on negotiation are studied using Geert Hofstede's dimensional model of culture. The negotiation process and Hofstede's culture model are combined in four settings. The settings are defined by two factors, if the negotiation is within or between cultures and the role of the participant as a negotiator or intervener. The predicted effects of culture on the process and outcome are detailed for each setting. Then the outcomes of the negotiation decision are discussed in terms of Hofstede's model, especially “Uncertainty Avoidance” and “Masculinity‐Femininity” dimensions. Culture clearly influences each aspect of negotiation. Understanding culture can make the participants more effective negotiators and in

摘要:
AbstractGiven the recent influx of and changes in foreign direct investment, the purpose of this study is to identify the motives of foreign‐based multinational companies (MNCs) coming to the United States. Factor analysis is used to analyze the underlying pattern of the motives. The results are compared to findings of previous studies of FDI in the United States. The study also seeks differences among motives of different types of MNCs. Implications for policy and future research on FDI are discusse

摘要:
AbstractIn their efforts to adapt to a market economy and capitalism, companies in the Eastern and Central European countries find themselves confronted with a challenge in many ways similar to the situation faced by certain overly bureaucratic companies closed to the outside environment in the capitalist system today. Due to market conditions, monopolistic or oligopolistic concerns such as utilities, railway companies, and airlines are having to abandon traditional practice in order to become outward‐looking, customer‐oriented companies. This involves changing from bureaucratic management toward entrepreneurial management, from closed organizational systems to ones that are open and dynamic—a process affecting the management of all the different subsystems within the firm, including the production, finance, commercial and administration departments, and very especially the management of human resources. In the Eastern and Central European countries, the change will be especially profound since it affects nearly all the companies in the socialist economy. But for overly bureaucratic companies in the capitalist system, the challenge is equally great, since they are being forced into change by new demands arising from the market situation or, as in the case of Spain, by government demands for adequate profitab
