Cultural barriers in the transferability of Japanese and American human resources practices to developing countries: the Turkish case
Article Abstract:
Multinational corporations working in foreign countries need to understand the social and cultural systems of the region if they are to be managed successfully. A study of some prevalent Japanese and American human resources management practices examines their success in Turkey and analyses the influence of Turkish culture. A framework is proposed that could be used in other developing countries.
