Drawing from the literature strands of philanthropy, business, and history, this work explores the business, prosocial, and political activities of a prominent family in the Scotch whisky industry, with specific emphasis on two brothers’ philanthropy and its impact on a place—the city of Perth, Scotland. In our analysis, we tell the story of the second-generation owners of Dewar’s Scotch whisky company, brothers John Alexander and Tommy Dewar, an…
A Spirit of Generosity: Philanthropy in the Scotch Whisky Industry
Recent literature on philanthropy and business has focused on the returns to businesses and entrepreneurs from giving. In this article, we show how historical context impacts the motivations and organizational forms created over time in philanthropic giving that effect and affect such returns. We do this through the prism of the changing ownership structures in the Scotch whisky industry in the twentieth century using an institutional theory lens…
Application of Cultural Metaphors and Cross-Cultural Paradoxes in the Classroom
This article consists of eight “mini-articles,” which describe how each author or authors employ cultural metaphors and/or cross-cultural paradoxes in their classrooms (see also the article “Cultural metaphors and cross-cultural paradoxes” in unit 7.1)
Cultural Metaphors: Their Use in Management Practice as a Method for Understanding Cultures
This paper argues that the dimensional perspective on culture, arguably the most important development in cross-cultural understanding in 50 years, needs to be supplemented by in-depth treatments of national cultures. Such a treatment is the goal of a cultural metaphor, which is any activity, phenomenon, or institution with which members of a given culture emotionally and/or cognitively identify. As such, cultural metaphors reflect the underlying…

Gannon and Rajnandini Pillai present the cultural metaphor as a method for understanding the cultural mindsets of individual nations, clusters of nations, and even continents.

Effects of alternative instructional approaches on cross-cultural training outcomes
Comparison of Student and Nonstudent Employees
Many firms hire students on a part-time basis, at least partially because they can be scheduled in a flexible manner during peak periods of activity. The present study compared 325 student and nonstudent employees of a large supermarket chain. In terms of attitudinal orientation, students were more negative than nonstudent employees. Also, the supervisory ratings of student employees were significantly lower than those of nonstudent employees. Th…

Organizational Level and Job Attitudes
Previous research has shown that organizational level is significantly related to need satisfactions, self-perceptions, and contrasting definitions of career success. In the present study it is demonstrated that organizational level is also correlated significantly with three job attitudes, namely, interest in work innovation, job motivation, and willingness to disagree with supervisors. It is not associated significantly with acceptance of job c…
