Beyond the Culture of Discipline « Fourcultures

Caulkins’ approach is to equate the ‘great company’, with its long-termism and its culture of responsibility, with the Egalitarian bias of Cultural Theory. If this is so, Collins could be said to achieve this without at any point scaring American business leaders off by sounding like some kind of cheerleader for socialism. To recognise this strand in American business thinking is to call into question the easy assumption that the typical American approach is Individualist.

I'm delighted to see Fourcultures pick up on Douglas Caulkin's recent paper on 'Good to Great'. This is a fantastic example of Cultural Theory being used to add insight on a classic text. The paper appeared in the October 2008 edition of 'Innovation: The European Journal of Social Science Research' for which I was guest editor.
