This Ph.D. workshop/conference focuses on the cultural dimensions of
organizational studies and comparative management research. The workshop
participants discuss their research by presenting and discussing papers.
Furthermore, the workshop allows us to discuss some of the basic and classic
research traditions as well as recent developments of cross cultural
management research. Some of the fundamental readings will be discussed.
Central to the PhD workshop is Hofstede's study which continues to shape the
field. In 1980 Hofstede published an influential study which changed
international organizational studies. Hofstede's findings have since turned
into a Kuhnian paradigm, which at times has been overused and even abused.
A careful reading of Hofstede's work is essential to any scholarship that
deals with organization, cross-cultural management and national culture. The
second (2001) edition of Hofstede's book provides what is to date the most
thorough review of international organizational studies research. Even more
recent applications of Hofstede's work is be published in a revised and
updated version of his popular text "Cultures and Organizations: Software of
the Mind" (2005) (with Gert Jan Hofstede as a co-author).
The other faculty members have in their own work been in various ways
inspired by Hofstede. Peterson has been involved in a number of large
cross-national studies with various approaches, and he is eminently able to
put Hofstede's work in context. Gert Jan Hofstede will focus on
cross-cultural methodology and teaching methods. Jan Selmer and Anne-Katrin
Neyer will share their experiences of facing the challenges of conducting
cross-cultural
research.
