CULTURAL DIMENSIONS OF MANAGEMENT AND CONSTRAINTS OF APPLYING TRANSFERRED (HRM) PRACTICES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES


Abstract:

anagement principles cannot be transferred from one society to another, as individuals' actions and perceptions of work are affected by the social local culture. This illustrates the failure to transfer management models between countries belonging to different civilizations without adaptation or modification.

This paper is the result of the author's research and experience with the reality of managing institutions in Algeria that has known an intensive import of industrial enterprises, in the '70s of the 20th century, with their management practices. This policy was doomed to failure, due to the use of inappropriate management methods which did not keep up with the prevailing cultural values in the society.

Keywords: Culture in organizations, Western management, Management transfer, Appropriate Management, Developing countries.
