Transferring of organizational culture across national borders : Case Elekta and Sandvik in India

Rinta-Jouppi, Matti, Grigoriadis, Chrysanthos January 2015 (has links)
The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of national culture on organizational culture across borders from a cultural dimension approach. In order to find out how the national culture of a company's host-country impacts the organizational culture throughout the company, we examine Swedish companies that have established business in a culturally distant nation, namely India. A multiple case study is used for this research that includes qualitative data gathering from 7 interviewees from the Swedish companies Sandvik AB and Elekta AB. The main criterion of selecting the interviewees was to find people who have first-hand experience from both the Swedish and the Indian working environment. The study shows that national cultural values seem to be an unchangeable, nontransferable property, but that organizational culture practices can be learned, adopted, and thus transferred. The research indicates that personal interaction could be the key element in adopting foreign culture element; in this case, supervisor-subordinate relationship styles and attitudes towards rules. This study contributes to the literature by shedding light on the process, how elements from a company's home-country national culture can be transferred to overseas facilities through company practices and personal interaction. Future studies are recommended to address the topic in different settings and also by using longitudinal quantitative methods.

Interdisciplinaridade na pesquisa : significações na cultura de uma universidade pública

Novo, Luciana Florentino January 2017 (has links)
A história da humanidade encontra-se fortemente entrelaçada aos avanços na produção do conhecimento. Neste entorno, o século XXI transcorre em um cenário que têm desafiado as comunidades científicas; conduzindo-as à reflexão acerca do modelo hegemônico que dirige a Ciência Moderna. Visando a superar tais desafios, emerge a perspectiva interdisciplinar, direcionada à produção de um conhecimento inovador, ao alimentar-se pela articulação de diferentes olhares. Neste contexto, a universidade como locus privilegiado de produção de conhecimento têm a sua frente políticas que a induzem a novos compromissos; dentre os quais, a adesão à interdisciplinaridade no âmbito da pós-graduação, que tem no Plano Nacional de Pós-Graduação - PNPG 2011-2020 grande força indutora. Essa questão implica mudanças institucionais, visto que toca em quadros de referência que remetem ao conhecimento disciplinar. É nesse âmbito que a cultura organizacional adentra no tema. Esta tese tem como objetivo central compreender as significações de interdisciplinaridade na pesquisa, construídas na cultura organizacional de uma universidade pública. O foco de análise privilegia os valores organizacionais e as práticas sociais de pesquisa conduzidas junto ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Memória Social e Patrimônio Cultural – PPGMP. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, que se assenta em um estudo de caso (YIN, 2001). Para tanto, optou-se por realizar a leitura da cultura organizacional sob três prismas: integração, diferenciação e fragmentação (MARTIN, FROST, 2001). A coleta de dados envolveu entrevistas aplicadas a dirigentes/gestores docentes e discentes. A análise foi conduzida à luz da análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 1979). Resultados indicaram como inibidores à interdisciplinaridade, o individualismo, a estrutura dispersa, a cooperação restrita aos grupos, os favoritismos e privilégios. Como indutores à interdisciplinaridade, constataram-se valores e práticas recentes. Democracia e igualdade de oportunidades vêm sendo materializadas nas discussões quanto às diretrizes norteadoras da instituição. Editais internos buscam superar o favoritismo. Reuniões itinerantes e integração de eventos têm promovido aproximação propícia ao diálogo. A partir de tal análise, foi possível constatar como significações de interdisciplinaridade na pesquisa, na cultura organizacional da UFPel: inexistência de uma política institucional; iniciativas individuais direcionam a pós-graduação; dificuldade de interação e construção coletiva, interdisciplinaridade prejudicada pelo individualismo; titulação que impõe limites; falta de visão de coletividade; falta de espírito de equipe e de práticas de construção coletiva, bem como avanços institucionais, (integração). Significações comuns apenas dentro de grupos específicos (diferenciação): desafio (docentes), liberdade de adesão e responsabilidade pela operacionalização (docentes), PDI como avanço (gestores) interdisciplinaridade dificultada por questões administrativas (docentes), incerteza conferida pelo título” (discentes); degrau à pós-graduação disciplinar (discentes); pesquisador “menos dono do conhecimento” (docentes); preconceito (discentes). E, como significações partilhadas temporariamente entre indivíduos (fragmentação): liberdade de adesão (gestores/ docentes); interdisciplinaridade necessita de disciplinaridade profunda (docentes/discentes); silenciamento da UFPel (gestores/docentes); cooperação restrita aos guetos (gestores/ docentes); dificuldades provenientes do fator tempo (docentes/discentes). Com este trabalho pretendeu-se contribuir com uma lacuna, no que diz respeito aos estudos ligados à interdisciplinaridade junto à pós-graduação, sobretudo, ao adotar-se uma leitura sob o prisma da cultura organizacional – importante diferencial desta tese, que busca suprir a carência de estudos e pesquisas em âmbito nacional e internacional. / The history of mankind is strongly intertwined to advances in the production of knowledge. In this environment, the 21st century takes place in a scenario, which have challenged the scientific communities; leading them to reflection about the model that drives modern science. In order to overcome such challenges, interdisciplinary perspective, directed at production of innovative knowledge, to feed the articulation of different looks. In this context, the University as a privileged locus of knowledge production has at its front policies that induce on new commitments; among them, joining the interdisciplinarity within the postgraduate, which has the National Plan of Postgraduate - NPOP 2011-2020 strength-inducing. This question involves institutional changes, since it touches on frames of reference which refer to disciplinary knowledge. It is in this context that the organizational culture enters the theme. This thesis aims to understand the central meanings of interdisciplinarity in research, built on the organizational culture of a public University. The focus of analysis privileges on the organizational values and social practices of research by the Graduate Program in Social Memory and Cultural Heritage - GPSMCH. It is a qualitative research, which is based on a case study (YIN, 2001). Thus, when, it was decided to carry out the reading of the organizational culture under three prisms: integration, differentiation and fragmentation (MARTIN, FROST, 2001). Data collection interviews to directors/managers, professor and students. The analysis was conducted in the light of the content analysis (BARDIN, 1979). Several aspects of organizational culture act as inhibitors to interdisciplinarity, the individualism, the dispersed structure, cooperation restricted to groups, the favorites and privileges. As inductors to interdisciplinarity has been recent values and practices. Such as democracy and equality of opportunity, has been materialized in the discussions as the main guidelines of the institution. Internal edicts to overcome the cronyism. Itinerant meetings and event integration have promoted the approach for dialogue. From such analysis, it was possible to see how meanings of interdisciplinarity in research on organizational culture from UFPel: lack of an institutional policy; individual initiatives lead to postgraduate; difficulty of interaction and collective construction, interdisciplinarity impaired by individualism; titration imposing limits; lack of a vision of collective; lack of team spirit and collective construction practices, as well as institutional advances (integration). Common meanings just within specific groups (differentiation): challenge (professors), freedom and responsibility for operationalizing (professors), IDP as (managers) interdisciplinarity hindered by administrative matters (professors), uncertainty conferred by title (students); step posgraduate school discipline (students); researcher "least owner of knowledge" (professors); prejudice (students). And, how shared meanings between individuals temporarily (fragmentation): freedom of membership (managers and professors); Interdisciplinarity needs a deep disciplinarity (professors and students); silencing by the UFPel (managers and professors); cooperation restricted to ghettos (managers and professors); hampered from the time factor (professors and students). With this work was to contribute a gap with regard to studies related to interdisciplinarity by the postgraduate school, in particular, to adopt a reading under the prism of organizational culture - key differentiator of this thesis, which seeks to make up for the lack of studies and research in national and international scope.

Leadership and Organizational Culture: An Integrative View of Leaders as Culture Creators and Culture as Social Context

January 2012 (has links)
abstract: Despite the vast amount of research within the leadership and culture domains, a paucity of research has integrated the two literatures. This dissertation investigates leadership, organizational culture, and the dynamic interplay between them. It is composed of three papers with the objective to integrate leadership and culture research, theoretically and empirically, and generate novel insights about both phenomena. Paper 1 describes how leader-unit interactions foster culture emergence. I integrate insights from social learning theory, self-regulation theory, and event-structure theory to enumerate how leader-unit interactions create values, beliefs, and underlying assumptions that become shared among members in a nascent work unit. Paper 2 integrates team motivation theory with multilevel leadership theory to address CEO task leadership's paradoxical effect on firm performance through intervening social (i.e., organizational culture) and psychological (i.e., TMT engagement) mechanisms. Using data from 106 CEOs and 324 top management team members, structural equation modeling results revealed that CEO task leadership enhanced firm performance through its positive association with task culture, which in turn was positively related to TMT engagement, which positively contributed to firm performance. Conversely, CEO task leadership hindered firm performance through its negative, direct effect on TMT engagement. Paper 3 integrates various approaches to organizational culture bandwidth that have produced a fragmented view of culture and its effects on organizational outcomes. I draw upon organizational culture theory and bandwidth theory to examine the incremental predictive validity of culture configurations and culture dimensions on broad and narrow criteria. Hierarchical linear regression analyses, from data consisting of 567 employees in 130 bank branches, indicated that narrow culture dimensions predicted variance in narrow outcomes whereas configurations explained incremental variance in broad outcomes above and beyond culture dimensions. Through this dissertation, I take an initial step toward illuminating the interrelationship between leadership and culture by identifying mechanisms through which unit leaders foster culture emergence and by examining how organizational culture is a social normative lens through which followers filter leader behavior. Given culture's importance to leadership and organizational outcomes, the conditions in which culture should be examined as a broad or a narrow phenomenon are also enumerated. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Business Administration 2012

As culturas organizacionais territorializadas na atividade de camelô em Três Lagoas/MS

Mendes, Luciano January 2011 (has links)
O objetivo geral nesta tese foi compreender as culturas organizacionais territorializadas da atividade de camelô realizada na cidade de Três Lagoas/MS. Para tanto, os primeiros passos na escrita desta tese foi dado em direção à construção do conceito de culturas organizacionais territorializadas. Assim, houve a necessidade de explorar os conceitos de culturas organizacionais e territórios, como forma de subsidiar a construção do conceito central nesta tese. Além disso, como forma de contextualizar e evidenciar os atributos ligados à atividade de camelô, foi necessária algumas discussões sobre as concepções de cidade e também de trabalhos etnográficos desenvolvidos junto à atividade de camelô. Isso pelo fato de que a atividade de camelô ocorre em contexto urbanos específicos, o que exigiu um entendimento mais abrangente sobre os atributos ligados a essa atividade. Todas essas discussões teóricas possibilitaram não apenas a construção do conceito de culturas organizacionais territorializadas, mas também focar nas discussões realizadas por autores que enfatizam os atributos micro das ações humanas, assim como a heterogeneidade nas atividades e nos atributos simbólicos compartilhados. Por esse motivo, o problema de pesquisa que contemplou essa tese foi: como as culturas organizacionais são territorializadas nos processos e ações desenvolvidas na atividade de camelô de Três Lagoas/MS, tendo em vista as relações entre essa modalidade de comércio, o poder público e os consumidores? Neste problema de pesquisa fica evidente que uma das bases existentes neste estudo e também na construção do conceito de culturas organizacionais territorializadas é dada pelas relações de poder. Sendo assim, os objetivos específicos contemplaram: identificar as formas de apropriação e dominação material e cultural do espaço onde a atividade de camelô se constitui; entender as relações de poder estabelecidas entre os camelôs, poder público e comerciantes, no que tange aos processo legais e ilegais de apropriação dos espaços e realização das atividades; e identificar as relações materiais e culturais desenvolvidas entre os camelôs e os consumidores, como forma entender a sustentação desse tipo de atividade no contexto das cidades. Foi a partir destes objetivos que o trabalho de pesquisa foi desenvolvido através de estudo etnográfico. Num primeiro momento a intenção foi entender as relações culturais e materiais estabelecidas entre os camelôs e destes com os consumidores. Logo depois, foram realizadas entrevistas com os sujeitos que estabeleciam ou estabeleceram relações com os camelôs de Três Lagoas/MS, que foram: os secretários da Indústria e Comércio, o representante do Ministério Público, alguns comerciantes e os presidentes da Associação Comercial, para entender as relações de poder existentes. Os achados mostram que apesar da relações de poder serem evidentes entre esses atores, ainda há um busca pelo fortalecimento da atividade de camelô. Além disso, algo importante e que norteou algumas discussões sobre as contribuições da atividade de camelô na cidade de Três Lagoas/MS, foi a centralidade que esta atividade possui na cidade, dado o potencial de abastecimento do mercado local com uma série de produtos que não são comercializados pelos lojistas da cidade. Para finalizar, ficou evidente que a construção do conceito de culturas organizacionais territorializadas possibilitou uma intersecção importante para evidenciar possíveis contribuições do mercado camelô de Três Lagoas/MS para com o desenvolvimento local. / The overall objective of in this thesis was to understand the organizational cultures territorialized of the activity street vendor place in the city of Três Lagoas/MS. To this end, the first step in the writing of this thesis was made toward the construction of the concept of organizational cultures territorialized. Thus, it was necessary to explore the concepts of organizational cultures and territories as a way to subsidize the construction of the central concept in this thesis. Moreover, in order to contextualize and show the attributes associated with the activity of street vendor, it took some discussion on the concepts of city and also developed the ethnographic work with the street vendor. This is because the activity street vendor occurs in the context urban specific, requiring a more comprehensive understanding about the attributes related to this activity. All these theoretical discussions not only enabled the construction of the concept of organizational culture territorialized, but also to focus on the discussions held by authors who have emphasize the specific attributes of human actions, as well as the heterogeneity in the activities and symbolic attributes shared. For this reason, the research problem that this thesis was contemplated: how organizational cultures are territorialized processes and actions development in the activity of the street vendor in Três Lagoas/MS, in view of the relationship between this form of commerce, municipal government and consumers? In this research problem is clearly one of the bases in this study and also in the construction of the concept of organizational cultures territorialized is given by the relations of power. Thus, the specific objectives included: to identify the forms of appropriation and domination of the material and cultural space where the street vendors is, to understand the power relations established between the street vendors, municipal government and traders, with respect to the process legal and illegal appropriation of the space urban and conduct of activities, and identify the material and cultural relations developed between the street vendors and consumers as a way to understand the sustain that type of activity in the context of cities. It was from these objectives that the research was developed through ethnographic study. At first the intention was to understand the cultural and material relations established between them with the street vendors and consumers. Soon after, we conducted interviews with the subjects who established or established relationships with the street vendors of Três Lagoas/MS, which were the secretaries of Commerce and Industry, the public prosecutor, some traders and the presidents of the Chamber of Commerce, to understand relations of power. The results show that although the power relations are evident between these actors, there is still a search for the strengthening of the activity of camels. In addition, some important and some guided discussions about the contributions of street vendor activity in the city of Três Lagoas/MS, was the centrality that this activity has in the city, given the potential for supplying the local market with a series of products that are not sold by traders in the city. Finally, it was evident that the construction of the concept of organizational cultures territorialized allowed a major intersection to show potential contributions of the market street vendor a Três Lagoas/MS to local development.

Brogrammers, Tech Hobbyists, and Coding Peasants: Surveillance, Fun, and Productivity in High Tech

Wu, Tongyu 06 September 2018 (has links)
This project is based on an ethnography of Trifecta Tech (pseudonym) a major high-tech firm on the West coast of the U.S. Although a growing group of organizational theorists started investigating high-tech firms’ organizational model and management mechanisms, they are still limited by their neglect of two latest trends in the high-tech industry: the rejuvenation of the workforce through disproportionally recruiting young college-educated men and the masculinization of the organizational culture. Drawing on 46 in-depth interviews and 11 months of participant observation, this study argues that these two latest dynamics result in some significant organizational processes that have not been examined before, including the gamification of the workplace; the promotion of “playful” organizational culture that attempts to blur boundaries between work and off-work activities; and the reinforcement of masculinized racial hierarchy to facilitate managers’ division of labor.
