Fordelene ved formelle strukturer og systemer, såsom vidensdatabaser, er blevet fremhaevet, men vidensdeling er i høj grad også et socialt faenomen, som foregår uden for de formelle strukturer igennem sociale netvaerk. Hvad der ofte glemmes er, at sociale netvaerk lige så vel kan vaere barrierer

The socially-dynamic entrepreneurial process: an anthropological approach

International Journal of Entrepreneurial Venturing, Mar 20, 2015

One focuses on the role of formal and informal social networks for mobilising resources and obtaining information about new markets and opportunities. The other conceives of individual personality traits or cognitive schemes as the independent variable behind entrepreneurial activity. Elaborating on the socially-dynamic perspectives of anthropological theories, this article presents a coherent theoretical framework for entrepreneurship research embracing the social dimensions as well as individual factors. The article thus proposes an approach integrating the social and subjective levels of analysis as part of the same socially-dynamic entrepreneurial process.

Sociologisk og antropologisk etnicitetsforskning viser dog, at mødet med det fremmede er en mere kompleks proces, end det ofte antages i teorier om udstationering og kulturmøde. Med inddragelse af disse teorier argumenterer vi for, at graenser mellem det, som opfattes som kendt, og det, som opfattes som fremmed, skabes og udvikles kontinuerligt i interaktionen mellem interne og eksterne gruppemedlemmer. Ved hjaelp af empiriske eksempler -baseret på et feltarbejde blandt udstationerede -vil vi argumentere for, at sociale inklusions-og eksklusionsprocesser til dels influerer, hvordan der kommunikeres internt og eksternt, og til dels influerer, hvad der anerkendes, og hvad der ringeagtes i den selvforståelse, der produceres.

Forfatterne argumenterer for, at den hidtidige forskning på området har vaeret praeget af en lineaer opfattelse af social identitet i tvaerkulturelle organisationer. Selvom denne tilgang har vaeret vaesentlig for vores forståelse af virksomheder praeget af kulturel forskellighed, kunne både forskere og praktikere udvide deres forståelse ved at anlaegge et processuelt og mindre statisk perspektiv på skabelsen og opretholdelsen af social identitet. Dette illustreres igennem data indhentet i et danskejet selskab i England, som belyser de negative konsekvenser ved skabelsen af social identitet. For at imødegå dette foreslår forfatterne tiltag som sprogtraening og interkulturelle gruppeøvelser.

Language Use and Communication in an International Management Setting: The Power to Misrecognize

While acknowledging that such differences are of great importance, this article goes one step further in investigating the role of intercultural communication in international management settings. Hence, it is our argument that more focus should be directed at group processes within the organization. Based on a short illustrative case of a Danish subsidiary in China, it is argued that the differences in language use and communication style can be strategically used in categorization to divide power between different groups. This is important for understanding the implications of intercultural communication in international settings and how to deal with it accordingly.

It has been argued that diversity management can increase organisational efficiency, improve on moral, and give better access to new market segments. But a substantial critique has recently been launched at the arguments for the business case for diversity, especially in the employment of knowledge synergies. Most studies that support or reject the business case argument have limited their research to establish a link between organisational productivity and diversity management -that is not engaging in a discussion of how and why there could be potential benefits or difficulties. In this paper we will describe and analyse some of the complications multicultural organisations can experience in regard to knowledge sharing
