Gaucho Dialogues on Leadership and Management
  • Alfredo Behrens
  • Published by:

  • Most subsidiaries of multinational organizations in developing countries are managed like modern-day saladeros, beef-jerking companies where, in the process of salting beef, workers salted themselves out of life. In Gaucho Dialogues on Leadership and Management Alfredo Behrens illustrates the Latin American organizational how-to through a dialogue attributed to two iconic literary characters, Martín Fierro and Don Segundo Sombra. Fierro—passionate, nonpragmatic, xenophobic—and Sombra—with a more nuanced affection toward old ways—comment on the militia-led insurrections from Argentina and Uruguay through Brazil, Venezuela, Central America and Mexico, and draw lessons about leadership, strategy and people management in Latin America and the United States. While the book’s argument covers the ethos prevailing in the Americas, Behrens believes it may be relevant elsewhere among similar societies where people prefer to act as members of clans than as autonomous individuals. If so, the book’s argument may be relevant for the vast majority of humankind at work.

As more and more managers find themselves becoming global managers, and in a world where practices and expectations can differ significantly across national and regional boundaries, this has never been more important.

  • Written in a style similar to Spencer Johnson's 'Who Moved My Cheese?', 'The Unglobals' offers fictional but plausible stories of individuals who have detached themselves from the globalized world. Just the way 'Who Moved My Cheese?' started the movement in change management, 'The Unglobals' is a short, easy-to-read, thought-provoking book that is poised to intrigue readers on the notion of globalization alternatives and economic nationalism.

  • The effects of organizational controls on innovation modes: An ambidexterity perspective

  • Ting Wang, Jianjun Yang, Feng Zhang
  • Journal:
    Journal of Management & Organization / Volume 27 / Issue 1 / January 2021
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    21 June 2018, pp. 106-130

  • Some critical limitations of prior research on organizational controls stem from the scant theory identifying the coexistence of contradictions and interrelations between differing organizational controls and exploring how the contradictory but interrelated controls affect innovation modes. To address this gap, this research links Hitt’s internal control system framework and the ambidexterity perspective by building on their focus on the interplay and tensions between different organizational controls. Using survey data from 182 Chinese firms in innovation-intensive industries, the results show that besides the independent use of strategic control, both the combined and balance use of strategic and financial controls are important for internal innovation. For firms specializing in cooperative innovation, however, financial control is more effective, and the combined use of strategic and financial controls has negative effect on cooperative innovation. These findings contribute to our understanding of organizational control itself and its connection to the ambidexterity perspective and innovation theory.
