The Role of National Cultures in Shaping the Corporate Management Cultures: A Three Country Theoretical Analysis

Abstract:

This paper studies the impact of national cultures on the management cultures of organizations. In doing so, this paper explores the differences and similarities among the national cultures of Pakistan, Mexico and the USA, and subsequently analyzes the impacts of such differences and similarities on the management cultures of organizations in these countries. The findings of this study suggest that cross cultural differences greatly influence the management culture in organizations. This finding presents cross cultural management challenges for organizations in these countries in order to build trilateral long-term strategic business partnerships, in addition to the fact that USA and Mexico are geographically far from Pakistan.
