| THE HIDDEN ORDER IN THE CHINESE CORPORATION: A NEW MODEL TO EXPLAIN MANAGEMENT BEHAVIOR Han Wei and Xi Youmin Issue 23 (Vol. 12, No.1), June 2002, pp. 79-88 Culture has become a vital theme in the world of management for many years. In this paper, the authors argue that culture should be treated as a paradigm rather than a variable. A new model to explain management behavior from the cultural perspective of �trust, cooperation, and innovation� is suggested. Some paramount characteristics and inferences of Chinese management are offered. Finally, a case study is presented. |
