- Abstract
- The study analyzed a Korean case in which two commercial banks started
their operation with different composition of ownership.
The study has shown that the different nature of the ownership generated
different assumptions and values in the two banks, and these assumptions
and values in turn played vital roles in the shaping of different strategies
adopted in the two banks. The study has also shown that these different
strategies were responsible for the different levels of organizational commitment
of employees resulting in significant gaps in financial performance be -
tween the two banks.
The findings of the study should be used to caution researchers in organization
science against conducting exclusively behavioral-or perhaps even exclusively
strategic-empirical studies that focus on a narrow set of possible
explanatory variables. Thus, the study argued that progress in the field of
cross-cultural research could perhaps best be facilitated through more integrative
research approaches that cross traditional methodological and disciplinary
boundaries.
