Nation's Culture/Values.

[Kuntarini]

There are books about Value Creation and how it is used to build Company's Culture. Any body knows the scholars in Value Creation to build Nation's Culture, and how/the process to build/establish it? I'd like to read their thinking.

Is there any country that has been proven having successfully ingrained the norms/value to its nation? Any case study to share in pdf for me to read the technical & the process the nation went through in every stage of the norm/value fused/ingrained?

Ups, no, not rants....... Rants have been accommodated already in other threads. Just answer the questions, please.......

Thanks folks!

You need not look far, Kunta. Look to next-door Singapore. Now, Singapore is very sui generis, and few, if any, of its accomplishments can be replicated or scaled up elsewhere. There is no play-book or buku resep. The search for one could very well be a quixotic venture.

Not buku resep, Hombre. There are books about organization culture, I assure you it is not buku resep. It is text book. I was talking about organization culture all management students learn, and now I am looking for information about nation culture and country value generation books. Do you know?

We use this bad-boy to cover some aspects of what you describe.

I believe that must be a book out there about country dynamics --- organization dynamics --- and how communication plays the role in value creation. Since it is about communication in a country, one of them must touch about propaganda as a vehicle.

If there isnt any book, it is sad that no scholar thinks about building a country like those building a company.

That's because no country is or ought to be built like building a company. If you want a how-to book for building a country, no such thing exists.

Then the philosophers have been useless....... It's not what you mean, isnt it?

It's a tragedy if scholars/philosophers are busy thinking, talking and doing research about entity and organization, but no one thinks about extrapolating the formula to the greater entity such as a country with some modifications.

The study must be the merge between human resource management, politics and communication. Or whatever. I believe there is one out there already.

If you want a how-to book for building a country, no such thing exists.

No, may not be a book, it's supposed to be case studies. The book is about case studies compilation. If there is a text book, it's formula created from the case studies

Have you tried Kinokuniya? Otherwise then Singapore, where else you can find such a book here, maybe at embassy libraries perhaps or that CSIS?

Nation-building? Keyword: Singapore, Lee Kuan-Yew

The problem is I dont know under what study it is....... It's probably not under management, nor communication, nor politics, nor philosophy...... I dont know the name of the subject. But to shorten it, it has been very helpful if there is a case study written. If there is group dynamics, organization dynamics -- that must be country dynamics. Hopefully one has written it.

Building a country takes far more than building a company. A company has far less people in it to satisfy and to guide. While some of a company's methodologies should be used in running a country, the philosophies shouldn't be. Look at Toyota Way. It works for Toyota, it won't work for other companies. Other companies looking to copy their success need to look at the philosophies behind the "why" of certain procedures used in Toyota way. Then try to replicate the why by implementing solutions that work for their own company.

If in developing a company the philosophies must be different, what can be applied to developing a country that is universal? It's tough. I think you can make some suggestions and some basic thoughts can be applied, but it'll be so generic.

The socio-economics of each country and their localized regions are different with each other. the cultures are different. So now, what can be the bottom line of "how to develop a country" that can be written about? It has to be country by country. Even within SE Asia, you have to approach nation building differently. Same with Western Europe, Nort America, etc etc
