“…Inappropriate translation processes often result in a biased, inconclusive, or misguided research outcomes (Maneesriwongul & Dixon, 2004). Developing an acceptable instrument for another cultural group requires more effort than a literal translation, which all too often is the common practice (Usunier, 1998). There is a growing need for standard and validated practices for translating psychological instruments.…”

“…To minimize the bias of interpreting a certain word from the original term, there should be a validation process confirming that the meaning of the original source is correctly conveyed and interpreted. Usunier (1998) claimed that to insure validity in the translation process, back-translation should be used to ensure that the target language is as near as possible to meaning in the original source language. Language is a significant predictor of cultural distance (West & Graham, 1998); therefore, it is important for foreign researchers to validate the translated psychometric scale using the backtranslation technique.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) based on the Competing Values Framework (CVF). More specially, cultural equivalence between the Korean version and the original English version of the OCAI was evaluated using 39 bilingual Koreans. Next, a field test was conducted to examine scale reliability and construct validity of the Korean version of the OCAI using 133 organizational members from the Korean Professional Baseball League (KPBL). The findings indicate that the Korean version was successfully translated, items maintained the same meaning of the original OCAI items, and yielded acceptable psychometric properties making it applicable to Korean sport organizations.

“…There are many challenges in the use of language in cross-cultural international research (Usunier, 1998). Here, except for some expatriate Tesco managers who were interviewed in English, most of the interviewees and the primary researcher were Korean, who used their native Korean language (Marschan-Piekkari & Welch, 2004).…”

IJV research highlights the importance of learning in international joint ventures (IJVs) but has not indicated how to achieve it. We combine organizational learning and internationalization process research within a microfoundations framework to understand learning in IJVs. We study a Samsung-Tesco IJV that successfully learned retail practice from one partner and applied it in a South Korean context known by the other. The managers used many learning processes, not just experiential learning emphasized in international business research, and used many more knowledge sources than assumed in prior research, including the IJV partners' other subsidiaries. To build absorptive capacity, IJVs need appropriate microfoundations at individual, process and structural levels, and coherent interlinkages between them, especially by having IJV managers' with extensive experience and orientation to learn who are given structural and process autonomy to invest in learning. Highlights: Learning in IJVs with dissimilar partners is best driven by autonomous IJV managers. Copying, recruitment and searching are important, not only experiential learning. Absorptive capacity building requires coherent links between levels of learning.  Partner's other subsidiaries are important sources and recipients of learning.

“…This emphasis on inter-cultural issues (Hampden-Turner & Trompenaars, 1993;Jackson, 1995;Usunier, 1998) was aimed at transforming differences and cultural diversity into positive factors for the global expansion of corporations and, correspondingly, the promotion of economic development in a large number of host countries and regions.…”

Globalization and international management: in search of an interdisciplinary approach

This paper, based on the international relations and international political economy literature, shows that the international management field has been influenced by certain national interests, particularly from the United States, and also that it reproduces a particular theory of globalization that benefits the interests of transnational corporations. One of the most concerning outcomes of this dominant perspective is the suppression of governance issues 'managed' by these corporations and the interests of other key agents, such as governments. The interdisciplinary approach outlined in this paper challenges the hegemonic influence of the globalist theory within the international management field. The approach proposed addresses the domains of management and governance by recognizing from a multidimensional perspective on globalization, the political and economic interfaces between public and private, and more specifically, between government and transnational corporations. This could make the knowledge produced by the field relevant not only to transnational corporations but also to local governments, local managers, public administrators and policy makers in developing countries.
