摘要：firms more likely to reflect social concerns, going beyond the pure profit-maximising objective. However, the typology immediately runs into problems, as significant differences between Germany and Japan are identified, something the author himself acknowledges as an issue to be addressed in the VOC model. The model does strike one as somewhat oversimplified at times and also any mention of the cultural typology proposed by Hofstede (1994) is lacking. Hofstede’s analysis contrasted company cultures in MNCs with those of its employees in different locations and could therefore challenge the VOC concept in some respects. It would be interesting, for example, whether Mikler’s strong reliance on Australian employees of the case study companies as interviewees colours his findings. Hofstede would probably suggest that it does, though the VOC approach would suggest that it does not.
