2.1 Theoretical underpinnings of the culturalist position
The culturalist position, as its name indicates, emphasizes culture as the essential situational element that stands in the way of global homogeneity in HRM principles or practice. This position does not only acknowledge differences in practices and values, as stated by the diversity thesis, but also argues that everything depends on the local context and , therefore, that universal management principles do not exist.
Three theoretical premises in the culturalist position distinguish this position very cleary from the universalist view: the persistence, the dependence, and the adaptation premises. These premises have a parallel in relativist philosophy (e.g. Putman, 1981; Rorty, 1991), where they are used in regard to cognitive (“there are no universal truths”) or ethical issues (“there are no universally valid moral principles”). Next, the authors further discuss each one of these premises.
