Title: | Text-context Relationships and Their Implications for Cross Cultural Management | Contributor(s): | Jabri, M (author) | Publication Date: | 2005 | DOI: | 10.1177/1470595805058415 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/135 | Abstract: | Cross-national comparisons of culture-related values are largely based on an ontology that asserts a certain 'reality': the perceived sameness of the self with social others. This ontology is predicated on the presumption that comparisons and contrasts among cultures can be based on a universal pre-ordained set of dimensions upon which commensurability of comparisons and contrasts is advanced. The present article argues that a methodological approach combining 'text' and 'context' demonstrates that the presumed sameness of the self with social others leads to a loss of context-specific, experiential understanding. The approach suggested here thus destabilizes the presumption of a universal set of dimensions upon which comparisons and contrasts among cultures have previously been made. This, in turn, destabilizes the very concept upon which cross-national comparisons have been based. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | International Journal of Cross Cultural Management, 5(3), p. 349-360 | Publisher: | Sage Publications Ltd | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1470-5958 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 150313 Quality Management | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal |
