KEYWORDS : Cross Cultural Behavior, Organizational Behavior, Cultural Inferences, Comparative Management

The research field of cross-cultural management suffers from an absence of theory capable of explaining the role of culture in organizational behavior. Methodological issues that are at least partly responsible for the above shortcoming, are explored in this paper. The central argument is that, despite efforts by researchers to resolve these issues, many methodological problems continue to resist the remedies prescribed by researchers. This paper seeks to evaluate the reasons why, and based on these evaluations, some suggestions for future research are proposed. (JEL M12, M14)
