Abstract

This chapter offers guidance for creating and evaluating hybrid models to investigate boundary-spanning activities. I use the foundations and data of cross-cultural management (CCM) provided by Hofstede, and the similarities and compatibilities between Japanese and European management are assumed. In order to test this model, interviews with a managing director of a Japanese-European joint venture was conducted in Japan. New aspects of the hybrid model are presented. Investigation thus far has addressed only the European managing director as a boundary spanner whose efforts indicated the potentials of cross-cultural competence creation. Based on this study, we will also observe Japanese and other countries’ management in hybrid models in IHRM.
