| Abstract: | This study investigates the effects of national culture on firms' design of and employees' preference for management controls. Data for testing two hypotheses are collected from 159 Taiwanese managers working in six of each of Japanese-, Taiwanese-, and US-owned, size-matched, computers / electronics firms in Taiwan. Overall, the results are consistent with national culture affecting these firms' design of and employees' preference for seven management controls, though there also are anomalies. These findings are combined with prior research. |
