ABSTRACT
Against expectations based on the cultural dimensions frameworks, the theme of superior subordinate relationship is a critical one in Swedish-Japanese relationships. This paper describes Japanese medical researchers' views on this theme, and shows that they go beyond the cultural dimension of Power Distance. Implications concern the predictive power of cultural dimension frameworks and the investigation of cultural antecedent of management behavior.
