description As south-south investments increase so do the issues experienced by investing companies. One of these is the impact of culture. This article analyzes the effects of the subsidiary country culture on an investing firm’s organizational culture and the managerial practices used to address them. Data is gathered from cultural databases, a company-wide survey and semi structured interviews. Descriptive statistics are used to reveal country and organizational culture differences, with content analysis to expose management responses. There is a clear difference between the firm’s Vietnamese and Peruvian workers, with the company’s practices more amenable to the Vietnamese employees. Recognition of this has resulted in a number of initiatives to reduce its impact. The study’s results offer suggestions that may be valued by other foreign companies interested in operating in Peru and may be especially relevant to Southeast Asia and Asian companies interested in investing in or looking to start operations in Latin America.

Uno de ellos es el impacto de la cultura. Este artículo analiza los efectos de la cultura del país filial en la cultura organizativa de una empresa inversora y las prácticas de gestión utilizadas para abordarlos. Los datos se recopilan de bases de datos culturales (Hofstede), una encuesta para analizar cultura organizacional (Mo-delo de Denison) y entrevistas semi-estructuradas. Existen diferencias culturales entre los trabajadores vietnamitas y pe-ruanos. Las prácticas de la empresa favorecen más a los empleados viet-namitas debido a su cultura organizacional. Los reconocimientos de estas diferencias han generado iniciativas para reducir el impacto de la cultura nacional peruana sobre la cultura organizacional de la empresa. Las empre-sas extranjeras que operan en Perú, especialmente las del sudeste asiático y de Asia interesadas en invertir en América Latina pueden usar esto como un ejemplo para abordar las diferencias culturales nacionales y su impacto sobre las culturas organizacionales.application/pdfengUniversidad EAFIThttps://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/map/article/view/6783/5073https://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/map/article/view/6783/5073Copyright © 2020 Gareth H Rees, Oswaldo Morales Tristán, Gladys Alosilla Cruzado, Sandra Guizado Vásquez, Bárbara Laos Raffo, Orlando López Melgarinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAcceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Revista Online Journal Mundo Asia Pacifico, Vol. 9 Núm. 17 (2020)The impact of culture on the management of subsidiary organizations: The case of Viettel in PeruEl impacto de la cultura de gestión en las subsidiaras: el caso de Viettel en Perúarticleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlepublishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1Organizational cultureNational cultureCultural differencesSubsidiary companyVietnamPeruLatin Americacultura organizacionalcultura nacionaldiferencia culturalcompañíasubsidiariaVietnamPerúAmérica LatinaH Rees, GarethMorales Tristán, OswaldoAlosilla Cruzado, GladysGuizado Vásquez, SandraLaos Raffo, BárbaraLópez Melgar, OrlandoUniversidad ESANOnline Journal Mundo Asia Pacifico9172238ORIGINALdocument - 2021-04-28T223935.621.pdfdocument - 2021-04-28T223935.621.pdfPDF Completoapplication/pdf593956https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/952abc54-d73d-4e27-bc71-93c27636d498/download286bfcba02e78cf3e25fd7a265f70bb0MD52articulo - copia (2).htmlarticulo - copia (2).htmlHTML Completotext/html368https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/3be8da08-48a3-443d-a99a-5fe09c31c82f/downloade0e8524632fb76f109f69617fab81533MD53THUMBNAILminaitura-map_Mesa de trabajo 1.jpgminaitura-map_Mesa de trabajo 1.jpgimage/jpeg193168https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/a07695bc-b48f-448a-9acd-ec4726407ec6/downloadbba97f39db3eff6ef515d9ceb3aa4910MD5110784/25813oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/258132021-04-28 22:41:34.517open.accesshttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.co
