SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Literatures have indicated mixed evidence on the affect of national culture on the type of management practices and organizational culture adopted in specific countries. Scholars have debated the dichotomy and divided into two camps; one supported the idea of one management practice fits all, and the other camp says that management practices are "culture-bond". The rise of globalization has added further to the ongoing debates and raised the question as to whether one country's management practices are applicable in another country.
