title = {Managing Diversified Firms through Socio-Cultural Mechanisms: A Focus on Korean Chaebols},
year = {2007},
note = {Based on theoretical considerations, this article investigates the
socio-cultural mechanisms through which diversified firms are
effectively managed without loss of control. Empirical results from
extensive questionnaire surveys in Korea and the U.S. show that
socio-cultural mechanisms such as shared values and corporate-level
training were significantly and positively associated with divisional
performance. In addition, socio-cultural mechanisms appear to have
unequal effects on the corporate performance in societies with
different cultural contexts. Statistical results show that
socio-cultural mechanisms worked better in chaebols than in large U.S.
firms, possibly because such mechanisms positively interact with
high-context culture.},
