Globalized management must blend universal models with local particularisms

Evidence

One consequence of globalization is that organizations face the dilemma of basing intercultural management on a universal, Western model, such as the one of Hofstede (1991), or adapt to special, local views. However, it is almost inevitable that an international organization will be acquainted with a universal approach and adapt to local views (Trompenaars & Hampden-Turner, 1997, pp. 38–49). For the most part a universal organization structure will not exclude involvement with particularism. — Frans Dokman, Beyond Bantu Philosophy_…, 820
