“…As we have seen above, knowledge transfer and management learning have often been based on ethnocentric assumptions, but many studies have demonstrated the capacity of local social logics to resist, adapt and otherwise reshape packages of formal knowledge imported by Western partners (cf. Dobosz and Jankowicz, 2002;Jankowicz, 2001;Markóczy, 1993). In this view, path dependence and cultural-linguistic factors serve to ensure that managerial and organizational practices evolve with some distinctiveness in the way they deal with economic and institutional problems.…”

Knowledge and learning in transnational ventures: an actor‐centred approach

The aim of this article is to develop the foundations of an actor-centred, processual approach to examining the influence of cross-border knowledge transfer and management learning on transnational institution building in post-socialist countries. We argue that there is a need for more research to understand how key social actors go about (re)structuring, (re)defining and sharing knowledge within new international ventures. We contend that social actors can play a significant role in creating and structuring the 'transnational social space' in which the new venture takes shape, exercising strategic choice that can mediate, adapt or even reject the apparently constraining effects of technical-economic or cultural-institutional factors. The role of social actors is conceptualized as a socio-political sensemaking process, a perspective that would complement the current structuralist bias in the discussion about the emergence of transnational social space in international management research literature.

“…They criticized the implicit theory of organizational learning in low-context transition approaches, which assume that new knowledge and practices can be directly inscribed into local organizations from external western sources. In reality, they argued, there are clear limits to the neat packaging of tacit knowhow into codified information, to the transit of management ideas across cultural borders (Dobosz & Jankowicz, 2002;cf. Czarniawska & Joerges, 1996) and to the ability of post-socialist actors to assimilate western practices (Child & Czeglédy, 1996;Clark & Geppert, 2002;Merkens et al, 2001).…”

In unison with the authors of this special issue, we argue that organizational research in European post-socialist contexts over the last 17 years has made a significant and enduring contribution to organization theory. This proposition provides the rationale for the special issue, which focuses on the formative relationship between the body of organizational knowledge forged largely within stable western market-economies and the findings of organizational research conducted within institutionally unstable and ambiguous post-socialist environments. We develop our argument through three phases. First, we seek to clarify the reasons why the context and process of postsocialism have posed special challenges to the conventional wisdom of 'western' organization theory. Second, we review post-socialist organizational research and consider how it has augmented our understanding of organizational structures and processes. Third, we place the five articles that comprise this special issue within this wider context, and outline their main contributions. The findings and lessons from post-socialist research have led organizational scholars to reevaluate many established theoretical propositions, and, by questioning the underlying rationality of organization theory, to explore the possibility of developing a more globally relevant discipline.
