Abstract

The preceding chapter depicted the managerial preferences for IT use inBritish factories, Japanese factories, and JFB – the proxies for national culture. Some differences could be observed among each set of factories both for CIU and for IIU. This chapter describes how these differences in managerial preferences are developing in actual terms at the shop-floor level of a factory. The main reason for describing actual practices of patterns of IT use as well as managerial preferences is that the score of the latter may or may not reflect that of the former. It is possible that cultural dispositions may not really be displayed in an organisation for some reason: in which case some other factors such as economic, institutional or political factors may be involved in determining actual IT use.As discussed in Chapter 3, CIU at the shop-floor level has been presumed to develop in seven specific areas. The relationship between CIU and the measures of actual practices at the shop-floor level is given in Table 6.1. As with managerial preferences shown in the last chapter, the results of a reliability test of these measures are provided below the table.
