Abstract

In response to significant interest in considering cultural and psychological phenomena in organization studies, and the relatively high entry barriers related to familiarizing oneself with the relevant literature scattered across multiple fields, the present study summarizes four “packaged” approaches that management scholars can adopt in their studies of organizations within and across cultural contexts. These packages, differentiated by their positions on the nature of culture (its definition, locus) and the comparability of cultures, can be employed to generate particular types of knowledge about organizations and their members. The merits and limitations of each are reviewed, and examples from the management literature are provided. Numerous opportunities remain to extend organization theory by working toward culture-inclusive models.
