“The way that can be told of is not an unvarying way” / R. Metters in Journal of operations management, Vol. 28 N° 3 (Mai 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of operations management > Vol. 28 N° 3 (Mai 2010) . - pp. 177–185 Titre : “The way that can be told of is not an unvarying way” : Cultural impacts on operations management in Asia Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : R. Metters, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 177–185 Note générale : Génie Industriel Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asia  National  culture  Operations  Management Résumé : This special issue is dedicated to Operations Management (OM) in Asia. A requirement for the special issue articles is that they have content related to the effects of national culture on OM. Here, the OM literature is combined with work from Anthropology and Women's Studies to provide a wide view of the effects of various Asian cultures on OM. The basic premise is that OM decisions may need to take culture into account: some OM practices are altered or precluded by culture, while others are more effective in some cultures than others. Numerous examples are provided involving quality management, shift scheduling, revenue management, facility location, layout, supply chain strategies, and other areas.

Services cultural alignment in offshoring / Eugene D. Hahn in Journal of operations management, Vol. 28 N° 3 (Mai 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of operations management > Vol. 28 N° 3 (Mai 2010) . - pp. 186–193 Titre : Services cultural alignment in offshoring : The impact of cultural dimensions on offshoring location choices Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Eugene D. Hahn, Auteur ; Kraiwinee Bunyaratavej, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 186–193 Note générale : Génie Industriel Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Culture  Offshore  services  FDI  Empirical  research  International/global  issues Résumé : Empirical research on the growing wave of services offshoring has examined the impact of several key factors such as wages and personnel quality on firm choices of offshore locations. However, examinations of culture in services offshoring to date have largely been confined to the relatively coarse concept of aggregate cultural differences between the home and host countries. We propose that specific cultural attributes are more closely aligned with successful service provision. We empirically examine our theoretical development of service cultural alignment and investigate the impact of cultural dimensions on the location of service offshoring projects. In addition, we examine whether Western and Asian firms have different cultural preferences in terms of the location of services offshoring projects. We find that host countries with lower levels of Hofstede's uncertainty avoidance as well as higher levels of individualism and power distance are able to attract greater numbers of service offshoring projects, even after controlling for macroeconomic, linguistic, and risk-related factors. We did not find that Western and Asian firms have different cultural preferences in this regard. We discuss implications of the findings with respect to theory, managerial practice, and governmental policy.

The globalization of operations in Eastern and Western countries / Michael Naor in Journal of operations management, Vol. 28 N° 3 (Mai 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of operations management > Vol. 28 N° 3 (Mai 2010) . - pp. 194–205 Titre : The globalization of operations in Eastern and Western countries : Unpacking the relationship between national and organizational culture and its impact on manufacturing performance Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Michael Naor, Auteur ; Kevin Linderman, Auteur ; Roger Schroeder, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 194–205 Note générale : Génie Industriel Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : National  and  organizational  culture  GLOBE  Convergence/divergence  Country  development  Manufacturing  performance  Hierarchical  Linear  Modeling Résumé : Understanding national and organizational culture becomes increasingly important in the era of transnational manufacturing. As the world becomes flat and boundaries break down, manufacturers need to understand the proper role of culture in order to obtain competitive advantage. Thus, the current study conducts a multilevel investigation of the impact of eight national and organizational culture dimensions (according to GLOBE framework) on manufacturing performance. An ANOVA comparison of 189 manufacturing plants between Eastern (Japan and South Korea) and Western (Germany, United States, Finland, and Sweden) countries indicates that organizational culture inside plants differs in three dimensions (power distance, future orientation, and performance orientation). Hierarchical Linear Modeling analysis further suggests that organizational culture has more of an effect on manufacturing performance than national culture or the fit between them. In addition, Country Developmental Indexes, both Economic and Infrastructural, do not impact manufacturing performance, reinforcing our conclusion about the weak influence of the national level factors on manufacturing performance. In an era of globalization, these results have practical implications for organizations expanding across national boundaries by developing an internal organizational culture consistent with high performance manufacturing.

The cultural characteristic of individualism/collectivism / Damien Power in Journal of operations management, Vol. 28 N° 3 (Mai 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of operations management > Vol. 28 N° 3 (Mai 2010) . - pp. 206–222 Titre : The cultural characteristic of individualism/collectivism : A comparative study of implications for investment in operations between emerging Asian and industrialized Western countries Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Damien Power, Auteur ; Tobias Schoenherr, Auteur ; Danny Samson, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 206–222 Note générale : Génie Industriel Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Individualism/collectivism  Theory  of  performance  frontiers  Resource-based  view  of  the  firm  Culture  Asia Résumé : This study provides insight into the importance of national culture, investment in operations, and performance in the context of emerging Asian economies with a collectivist orientation, which are compared to industrialized Western nations with an individualist orientation. Hypotheses are developed and tested based on the cultural concept of individualism/collectivism, the theory of performance frontiers, and the extent of economic development. More specifically, data collected from 639 manufacturing plants in nine countries are used to first assess the influence of the cultural trait of individualism/collectivism on the extent of investment in structural assets (specifically: physical and capital-based) and infrastructural assets (specifically: team-based methods and improvement programs). Second, the influence of the extent of economic development on these investment factors is measured. Third, evidence is provided supportive of the theory of performance frontiers, and the nature of resource investments in the context of the cultural construct of individualism/collectivism. And fourth, support is provided for the efficacy of this theory, as well as for its compatibility and association with the resource-based view of the firm. Overall, this study makes important contributions to both theory and practice, and provides evidence for the role played by the cultural characteristic of individualism/collectivism in determining plant level investment outcomes in emerging Asian economies.

Kull, Auteur ; John G.

Yet quality problems in China have raised concerns among managers and researchers as to how to assure product quality from Asian facilities. Implementing quality management practices may accomplish this, but such practices assume specific cultural values exist in certain Asian cultures. Using global manufacturing and cultural data, this study examines if cultural values in Asian and non-Asian countries moderate how effective quality management practices are at improving quality performance. Through the use of multilevel modeling, differences in quality management effectiveness are found among the East Asian cultures of China, South Korea, and Taiwan. Moreover, this study finds that specific cultural dimensions are statistically related to quality management effectiveness. The results of this study will assist managers in devising plans to assure higher quality from East Asian facilities and in predicting where problems may occur in other countries around the world.

Antecedents to supplier integration in the automotive industry / Martin Lockström in Journal of operations management, Vol. 28 N° 3 (Mai 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of operations management > Vol. 28 N° 3 (Mai 2010) . - pp. 240–256 Titre : Antecedents to supplier integration in the automotive industry : A multiple-case study of foreign subsidiaries in China Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Martin Lockström, Auteur ; Joachim Schadel, Auteur ; Norma Harrison, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 240–256 Note générale : Génie Industriel Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Supplier  integration  China  Automotive  Collaborative  relationship Résumé : Supplier integration has become an important concept for improving supply chain performance. The aim of this paper is to identify factors that facilitate and inhibit supplier integration in the context of the Chinese automotive industry. An inductive approach based on grounded theory was chosen as the research methodology, where data was collected through 30 detailed case interviews with subsidiaries of foreign automotive companies operating in China. The results indicate that buyer-side leadership is an important antecedent for building motivation, trust, and commitment among suppliers and for shaping their mindsets. This, in turn, facilitates strategic alignment and enables suppliers to build collaborative capabilities, which are finally shown to be a key enabler for successful supplier integration.

Three aspects of China's institutional environment are salient: legal protection, government support, and the importance of guanxi (interpersonal relationships). This study uses structural equation modeling to analyze data collected from 398 Chinese manufacturing companies. Government support and importance of guanxi significantly affect trust, which subsequently influences two elements of information integration, namely, information sharing and collaborative planning. Furthermore, the importance of guanxi has a direct, positive impact on information sharing, and government support has a direct, positive effect on both information sharing and collaborative planning.

Learning trajectory in offshore OEM cooperation / Yuan Li in Journal of operations management, Vol. 28 N° 3 (Mai 2010)

In particular, we conceptually argue and empirically confirm the links between learning intent, capability enhancement, governance mode, and overall innovativeness from the perspective of local suppliers in offshore OEM cooperation in China as well as the influence of local business culture within these links. We address two issues: (1) offshore OEM cooperation can be a unique opportunity for local suppliers with strong intent to learn from foreign buyers for capability enhancement and (2) the moderating effects of trust and contact as two distinctive governance modes. Addressing the two issues, we make two specific contributions to the research on inter-firm cooperation, both of which derive from the often-neglected theoretical lens of transaction value. Our general contribution lies in the extension of the transaction value perspective by specifying its dual tenets of inter-firm co-specialization and shared-trust as the central theme of inter-firm cooperation to complement the transaction cost economics and also contextualize the research on inter-firm cooperation in terms of different partners’ perspectives as well as different governance modes.
