The field of strategy science has grown in both the diversity of
issues it addresses and the increasingly interdisciplinary
approaches it adopts in understanding the nature and significance
of problems that are continuously emerging in the world of human
endeavor. These newer kinds of challenges and opportunities arise
in all forms of organizations, encompassing private and public
enterprises, and with strategies that experiment with breaking the
traditional molds and contours. The field of strategy science is
also, perhaps inevitably, being impacted by the proliferation of
hybrid organizations such as strategic alliances, the upsurge of
approaches that go beyond the customary emphasis on competitiveness
and profit making, and the intermixing of time-honored categories
of activities such as business, industry, commerce, trade,
government, the professions, and so on. The blurring of the
boundaries between various areas and types of human activities
points to a need for academic research to address the consequential
developments in strategic issues. Hence, research and thinking
about the nature of issues to be tackled by strategy science should
also cultivate requisite variety in issues recognized for research
inquiry, including the conceptual foundations of strategy and
strategy making, and the examination of the critical roles of
strategy makers, strategic thinking, time and temporalities,
business and other goal choices, diversity in organizing modes for
strategy implementation, and the complexities of managing strategy,
to name a few. This book series on Research in Strategy Science
aims to provide an outlet for ideas and issues that publications in
the field do not provide, either expressly or adequately,
especially as regards the comprehensive coverage deserved by
certain emerging areas of interest. The topics of the volumes in
the series will keep in view this objective to expand the research
areas and theoretical approaches routinely found in strategy
science, the better to permit expanded and expansive treatments of
promising issues that may not sufficiently align with the usual
research coverage of publications in the field. Cultural Values in
Strategy and Organization contains contributions by leading
scholars on the role of cultural values in the field of strategy
science research. The 11 chapters in this volume cover the topics
of ecological organizing and evolving cultural values, corporate
cultural responsibility, cultural integration in mergers and
acquisitions, culture and paradoxical frames, cultural values in
the fair trade market, national culture and legitimacy, family
businesses as values-driven organizations, cultural intelligence of
executives, building an alliance culture, personal values of civil
engineers and architects, and cultural characteristics of Chilean
and Brazilian workforces. The chapters collectively present a
wide-ranging review of the noteworthy research perspectives on the
role of cultural values in strategy and organization.
