“…Changes, negative or positive, occurring in natural, social, political, and economic dimensions of society are likely to have direct and indirect influences on organizational cultures. Such effects, in turn, necessitate changing, restructuring, and altering cultural structures (Cesur, 1999; Eroğlu, 1995; Simms, Price, Ervin, & 1994; Susar, 2000).…”

“…In modern business management, adaptation to the local conditions is often regarded as a crucially important strategy to be flexibly integrated into the local market according to the specific consuming habits of the local customers (Simms, et al, 1994). The lack of flexibility to the local culture is a fatal element for the Home Depot's failed performance in China.…”

In modern business management, organizational behavior is a crucial factor in influencing the success. Especially, when considering the market performance of a business, the decision-making behavior may be an important factor. In different local conditions, organizational behavior might be a determining factor in success. The paper, by studying the case of the US Home Depot in China, attempts to analyze the behavioral factors impacting the success in the local place of its targeted market. Based on the two factors including incompetent local adaptation and the wrong entry time and entry mode leading to failure, some recommendations are made. Firstly, the company could conduct a more detailed and systematic research of the local conditions, especially the local cultural and economic features. Secondly, it is crucially important to know the exact time and the suitable entry mode. Thirdly, that the Home Depot could have study the communicative mode with the locals heavily influenced by the local cultural traditions and conventions in order to avoid blind entry strategy. To conclude, for the success of cross-border businesses, being adaptable to the local consuming habits is an important premise of the sustainable development for the Home Depot in the international market.

“…With the exceptions of Barnum & Kerfoot's (1995) summary of Dewey's problem-solving method, Byers's (1997) use of re¯ection to change organizational practices, and a brief discussion on complex problems by Gillies (1994), other major nursing administration texts of the 1990s do not include re¯ective practice (e.g. Decker & Sullivan 1992, Simms et al 1994, Spitzer-Lehmann 1994, Blancett & Flarey 1995, Dienemann 1998. This is somewhat astonishing considering the critical role administrators play in staff's use of re¯ective inquiry with patients (Schmieding 1992, Palmer et al 1994.…”

Problematic situations comprise a significant proportion of nurse administrators' practice. Reflective inquiry is recommended as a method for identifying the problem and its solution. This approach is consistent with pragmatic philosophy which recognizes the fallacy of basing one's action on an a priori conclusion. Dewey's elements of reflective inquiry are used as the framework to analyse its relevance to administrative practice. Emphasis is placed on the importance of using empirical observations and thoughts in a serial back and forth process to discover the problem and its solution. The problems associated with non-empirical inquiry are examined. Reflective inquiry provides a directed rather than a haphazard approach to effective and efficient administrative practice.
