Research on leadership in a cross-cultural context: Making progress, and raising new questions

Abstract: It is almost cliche to say that there has been an explosion in the amount of research on leadership in a cross-cultural context. In this review, we describe major advances and emerging patterns in this research domain over the last several years. Our starting point for this update is roughly 1996–1997, since those are the dates of two important reviews of the cross-cultural leadership literature [specifically, House, Wright, and Aditya (House, R. J., Wright, N. S., & Aditya, R. N. (1997). Cross-cultural research on organizational leadership: A critical analysis and a proposed theory. In: P. C. Earley, & M. Erez (Eds.), New perspectives on international industrial/organizational psychology (pp. 535–625). San Francisco, CA) and Dorfman (Dorfman, P. W. (1996). International and cross-cultural leadership research. In: B. J. Punnett, & O. Shenkar (Eds.), Handbook for international management research, pp. 267–349, Oxford, UK: Blackwell)]. We describe the beginnings of the decline in the quest for universal leadership principles that apply equivalently across all cultures, and we focus on the increasing application of the dimensions of culture identified by Hofstede [Hofstede, G. (1980). Culture's consequences: International differences in work-related values (Abridged ed.). Newbury Park, CA: Sage] and others to describe variation in leadership styles, practices, and preferences. We also note the emergence of the field of cross-cultural leadership as a legitimate and independent field of endeavor, as reflected in the emergence of publication outlets for this research, and the establishment of long-term multinational multi-investigator research programs on the topic. We conclude with a discussion of progress made since the two pieces that were our departure point, and of progress yet to be made.

Trends in Care Practices, Morbidity, and Mortality of Extremely Preterm Neonates, 1993-2012

Abstract: Obstet Gynecol Surv 2016;71(1):7–9Since the 1990s, there have been considerable changes in care for mothers in preterm labor and for extremely preterm infants. The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network has monitored changes in this

Measurement of Angular Acceleration of a Rigid Body Using Linear Accelerometers

Abstract: We are very grateful to Professor Iwatsubo for his discussion of our paper. Concerning his first point, there appears to be some contradiction between the second and third paragraphs of the Discussion. However, we agree with the first statement made by the discusser that, for cantilevered columns, both sum and difference-type combination resonances are possible. In our paper, concerning cantilevered pipes conveying fluid, we were careful to say that \"the combination resonances appear to involve the differences, rather than the sums.\" We have not made a special study of this, and our supposition was based on the consideration that for the low frequencies involved it is more likely that the combination resonances be of the difference rather than the sum type, since in the latter case (co; + a>y)/fc near zero would imply very large values of k. Concerning the second point, the limited extent of our calculations does not allow us to say with certainty that, let us say, first-mode parametric resonances are impossible for all possible sets of system parameters. However, we have never found such instabilities in our analysis, nor has it ever been found in the experiments [1] . A possible explanation is this. In the cantilevered pipe the Coriolis acceleration acts effectively as a damping force and the effective damping varies from one mode to another [2]. It is certainly possible that some modes are simply too heavily \"damped\" by the Coriolis effect to exhibit parametric resonances, either over a wide range of flow velocities or for all flow velocities.
