Data Is No Free Gift
Organizational research on data sharing in inter-organizational contexts is limited, giving little insight into why data is or is not shared, often bypassing social and cultural norms, values and perspectives, and issues of power, (dis)trust, and (un)willingness to share. Drawing on an empirical study in the infrastructure sector in the Netherlands, where administrators increasingly urge infrastructure operators to share their data to create a mo…

These single and multiple dimensional models have narrowed the debate on cross-cultural management. To move away from these cultural values studies and open up new dire…
European Developments in Business Anthropology
American anthropologists and practitioners have dominated the debate on organization culture for a long time. European business anthropologists have not been very visible to American scholars because they publish irregularly in American academic journals and generally use their national languages; French, German, Swedish, Dutch and Danish. Business anthropologists in the UK, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, France, Italy and other Europe…

This paper examines potential dynamics in such alliances and explores the developments in the strategic alliances of a Dutch telecom operator (KPN) in the Netherlands Antilles and Indonesia. The case studies examine how local partn…
