摘要

本文提出了民族文化如何影响企业行为的知识。从Hofstede的文化维度和Meyer的文化量表的角度,我们预测了四个民族文化之间竞争动态的意识-动机-能力框架的差异。一项对法国、印度、肯尼亚和美国的263家中小企业(SMEs)的调查样本为假设的竞争差异提供了证据。个人主义和放纵的文化特征往往导致竞争力的降低。此外,在个人主义文化中,动机与竞争能力的提升有关,但与竞争意识的下降有关,这意味着这种文化中的公司往往不经过深思熟虑就采取行动。这项调查解决了研究中的两个重大空白。首先,它结合了竞争动态和文化的研究领域,尽管文化对各种商业实践都有众所周知的影响,但这两个领域以前在实证研究中没有交织在一起。其次,它通过弥合竞争动态和中小企业研究之间的差距,揭示了不同程度的竞争如何影响企业。

The effect of national culture on SME competitive dynamics

The effect of national culture on SME competitive dynamics

This paper advances knowledge of how national culture affects firm behavior. From the perspective of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and Meyer’s culture scales, we predict differences in the awareness-motivation-capability framework of competitive dynamics across four national cultures. A survey sample of 263 small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in France, India, Kenya, and the United States provides evidence of the hypothesized competitive differences. The cultural traits of individualism and indulgence often lead to a reduced sense of competitiveness. Moreover, within individualistic cultures, motivation is linked with an uptick in competitive ability but a decline in competitive consciousness, implying that companies in such cultures tend to take action without extensive deliberation. This investigation addresses two significant gaps in research. Firstly, it combines the research areas of competitive dynamics and culture, which have not previously been intertwined in empirical studies, despite culture's known influence on various business practices. Secondly, it sheds light on how varying levels of competition impact businesses by bridging the gap between research on competitive dynamics and SMEs.
