| Abstract: | Alaska Natives are attempting to mould a corporate organizational structure into development institutions that will help them keep their traditional homeland. The article contrasts the fundamental values, goals and operational styles of conventional bureaucratic corporations with the shared values of Alaska Natives. It discusses the variety and complexity of institutional responses and offers certain insights into problems faced by Alaska Natives regarding conflicts between Native culture and the profit-making functions of their corporations. The research suggests that there are limited prospects for achieving goals of both a social and economic nature unless major changes are made. |
