Abstract

Argues that performance management techniques and practices developed in US organizations cannot be successful in the developing country context to gain competitive advantage unless the issue of culture‐fit is addressed adequately. “Culture‐fit” can be ensured when managers adopt human resource management strategies to overcome the cultural constraints and build on the strengths of the socio‐cultural environment.
