PETERSON, Mark F.  and  SOENDERGAARD, Mikael. The foundations of cross cultural management. Rev. Psicol., Organ. Trab. [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.1, pp. 17-31. ISSN 1984-6657.

We trace the roots of current cross cultural management research that draws from each of the generic social sciences - anthropology, sociology, psychology, and economics - as well as the major topic areas or viewpoints within these disciplines. We emphasize the direct predecessors of major current projects and lines of research. The core of the analysis is the literature that we have used in a series of doctoral courses and seminars over a 10 year period (Soendergaard & Peterson, 2007). These courses and seminars are designed to identify major theoretical perspectives and traditions in current cross cultural management research, then look backward to trace their heritage.

Keywords : Cross-cultural management; cross-cultural research; cross-cultural history.
