摘要
随着海外项目团队日益活跃于国际市场上,多元文化背景的团队成员结构在激活文化创造潜力的同时也增加了由文化异质性引发的跨文化冲突问题。然而,对于海外项目团队如何管控冲突仍未得到充分的理论解释。本文基于文化嵌入视角,选取4家中国企业的海外项目团队进行多案例比较研究,探讨海外项目团队的跨文化冲突来源及冲突管控策略。研究发现:第一,海外项目团队的跨文化冲突主要来源于价值导向与管理规范的异质性;第二,由于文化嵌入的优先性会影响团队策略选择,因而海外项目团队在管控跨文化冲突时,需要对文化内外部嵌入的优先性进行权衡考量;第三,在不同文化嵌入的作用下,海外项目团队可以通过结构型、功能型与混合型策略进行跨文化冲突管控,来缓解跨文化冲突的掣肘。本文最终形成的跨文化冲突整合模型,能够为后续海外项目团队层面的跨文化冲突管控研究提供新的理论解释,并响应近期国际商务领域学者对于扩展跨文化理论研究边界的呼吁。
