“…Theorists from a range of academic fields and disciplines have acknowledged the importance of unintended consequences. Examples include the natural sciences (Pavan-Langston and Dunkel, 1991), political science (Mandelbaum, 1999), sociology (Giddens, 1984), demography (Globerman, 2000) and philosophy (Popper, 1945). This broader interest is matched by a steady stream of research within economics and management disciplines, including studies of economics (Lal, 1998), project management (Brown, 2000), human resource management (Harris and Ogbonna, 1998) and decision-making (Magasin and Gehlen, 1999).…”

The topic of managing culture has been central to organizational culture research for the last two decades. Although critical theorists argue that culture management efforts are prone to unintended consequences, few empirical studies have explicitly explored this issue. The study reported in this article is designed to redress this imbalance in the literature through focusing on the exploration and description of the unintended consequences of culture management interventions. The aims of the study are to locate and describe how management actions during culture change initiatives result in unintended consequences and then subsequently to explore and describe these effects. The article begins with an overview of contemporary research into the nature of culture, the rationale, approaches and perspectives on culture management as well as research into unintended consequences. After a discussion of the research design and methods employed, the results of the study are presented. These findings review and elucidate eight forms of management action during culture change programmes that resulted in unintended consequences, which had serious consequences for the organizations concerned. The article concludes with the discussion of implications and conclusions for theorists and practitioners.

“…By contrast, theory and experience suggest that trade and the migration of temporary professionals are often complements, that is, the movement of professionals often increases with more trade and investment (Globerman, 2000). There are three major reasons: complex goods, movements linked to multi-national corporations, and foreign investment.…”

International migration involves the movement of people over national borders, while international trade deals with the production of goods or services in one country and their consumption in another. Economic theory assumes that migration and trade are substitutes, so that freer trade between countries with different wage levels should reduce voluntary migration as trade leads to convergence in wages. However, free-trade agreements can produce a migration hump as the pace of change accelerates and economies adjust, as migration increases before investment creates enough jobs to generate stay-at-home development despite remittances from migrants abroad. Efforts to deal with the root causes of migration must be aware of potential migration humps.
