Cross-cultural management scholarship is multi-paradigmatic in nature. Rather than trying to shift paradigms we should be focusing on shifting narratives as an end product of our research. All scholarship should be critical in some sense, and cross-cultural management studies started off life as critical of an existing narrative, within the positivist tradition. This counter-narrative ended up in the mainstream of international management and business studies. It challenged the idea that American management precepts apply anywhere. In extant studies counter-narratives are few and far between, yet such counter-narratives should be our stock-in-trade.

反叙事应该是我们跨文化管理学术的产出吗？

跨文化管理奖学金本质上是多范式的。我们不应试图改变范式，而应将重点放在改变叙述上，将其作为我们研究的最终产品。在某种意义上，所有的学术都应该是批判性的，跨文化管理研究开始于对实证主义传统中现有叙事的批判。这种反叙事最终成为国际管理和商业研究的主流。它挑战了美国管理准则适用于任何地方的观点。在现存的研究中，反叙事很少见，但这种反叙事应该是我们的存货。
