"Have the organizations and companies of cultural highlights?" underpins research Philippe d'Iribarne.
This study is very rich and documented. In researching the cultural highlights of the companies and organizations, Philippe d'Iribarne takes us a long reflection to philosophers (the Enlightenment, Kant, Locke, Tocqueville), ethnologists, sociologists and even political and union leaders. It identifies the cultural differences that resist the story (Chapter 1) related to what he called scenes of peril and salvation (chapter 2). These are illustrated through large countries (France, USA), which constitute the frame, and more scattered examples such as Vietnam, Cameroon and Indonesia. This demonstration allows them to identify elements of plurality and unity (Chapter 3).
This book is very rich and its reading requires a bit of concentration for irregular readers of philosophical or sociological literature. However, it contains some good surprises and addresses without taboos and objectively a difficult subject to broach, it compares the cultures together. The purpose remains smart, and Avoiding the judgment of cultures. It gives some keys to understanding the ways of acting and organizations in our societies.
