Acculturation inside partnerships in the Russian car industry

Original language description

This research uses the acculturation perspective to explore factors of acculturative stress and attraction that characterize international partnerships and contribute to understand their performance. We first examine how acculturation has been utilized and show that research in management has adopted a rather restrictive perspective on acculturation: in the field of acquisitions, implementation success is theoretically associated with the congruence between the partners’ perceptions of acculturation prior to implementation. As social movements theorists have argued, acculturation occurs all along the change process. In addition, previous studies in management have analyzed acculturation only from one side of the partnership (for instance, the acquired firm). Hence, our questions: do acculturative attraction and stress occur all along the partnership process? Do both partners share the same perceptions of stress and attraction? Our findings show that the acculturation perspective is appropriate to understand the dynamics of acculturation in the interaction between actors belonging to two different industrial traditions. Stress and attraction can occur all along the implementation of the partnership. Our analysis shows a complex picture of acculturation, not only with similarities between Russians and Western managers in their perceptions of factors of acculturative stress and attraction but also with specificities and oppositions.
