“…Because Japan, not possessed of natural resources, could not continue without external trade, the country's interconnectedness in the globalized economy means dependency (Inkekes, 1998). In contrast, many US corporations lost their interest in learning from Japan as well as from other parts of the world in the early 1990s (Peterson, 2011). The US interconnectedness in the globalized economy reveals itself in an autonomous system with a high potential for achieving a condition of economic independence (Inkeles, 1998).…”

This study examines changes in organizational cultures of Japanese and US corporations between 1998 and 2008 through the lens of communication. Specifically, it analyzes organizational values that are manifest in the use of specific terms in the texts of corporate annual reports (N = 255). By doing so, this study empirically determines the patterns that describe over-time changes in organizational cultures of Japanese and US corporations.Theoretically, this study investigates whether the basic premise of the theory of convergence is applicable to the study of organizational culture change. To that end, three dimensions of organizational values-performance, continuity, and growth-have been derived. To test the hypotheses and the research question offered, this study examines the effects of time in years, national culture, and the interaction between the two on the three value dimensions. Using linear growth model analysis, this study found that time and national culture had significant effects on the use of the terms related to the performance and continuity dimensions. The effects were not significant for the growth dimension. In none of the cases, the interaction effects between time and national culture were significant. The results provided evidence to support the parallel change pattern for the performance and continuity dimensions and the unitary stability pattern for the growth dimension. The findings partially support the premise of the theory of convergence.

“…Both functional and institutional considerations suggest forces that produce cultural qualities shared by large sections of the world (Peterson, 2010). Some largely functional arguments describe adaptations to physical conditions across many nations (Diamond, 1997; Van de Vliert, 2008).…”

Quantitative societal culture research (QSCR) in organization studies crystallizes a configuration of social science perspectives and methods that became prominent in the 1970s. We consider the qualities of and boundaries around cultural groups that this tradition emphasizes, and other characteristics of cultural groups that it does not emphasize. Current debates surrounding this tradition reflect both recent social science innovations and rediscoveries of early social science perspectives. Our analysis of quantitative crosscultural societal research in organization studies considers this process of crystallization, innovation and rediscovery. We suggest ways to address current controversies and promote conversations with other research approaches.

International management research that developed from studies of nations has turned to the cultural region topics of multiple‐nation clusters and within‐nation regions. A developing empirical literature is beginning to provide information about the utility of considering alternative cultural boundaries to national boundaries. Both this quantitative research and historical analysis draw from theories that can be organized and extended by sorting them into functional, institutional and critical event explanations for cultural boundaries.
