| Abstract: | This study's focus is on the cross-cultural (henceforth as: cr-clt.) aspects of the implementation of an American company's code of ethics into its Swedish subsidiary. Identified are the cr-clt. stories used by the receivers in the subsidiary when trying to explain the parent's code. These stories are conceptionalized as part of an emerging narrative of national belonging and differences. It is concluded by stressing the process of implementing codes across cultures rather than code content. |
