With the emergence of globalization, the transfer of management principles and models and technology between the organizations has become a common practice. This situation inevitably increased in research about the issue of similarities and differences between societies, organizations, nations, and individuals. This article aims to contribute to this line of research by discussing the convergence or divergence of national cultures and related work values. This article suggests that although a degree of convergence occurs in the structure and ordinary practices of organizations, there is little convergence in the thinking, behavior, beliefs, and values of people in organizations. This assumption is elaborated, in this article, by referring to differences in national cultural features in terms of communication, leadership style, motivators, and performance measurement systems. All organizations need to take into account differences in the national cultural features before adapting a management model or principle originated in another country
