Abstract

L’étude de la convergence ou de la divergence des valeurs et des pratiques culturelles dans le monde est liée aux problématiques de diffusion et d’acquisition de connaissances. La convergence de pratiques peut être expliquée soit par la similarité des environnements au sein desquels celles-ci ont été développées et déployées soit par le transfert de pratiques d’un milieu socioculturel vers un autre. Les banques occidentales opérant dans des environnements institutionnels et économiques dynamiques et compétitifs ont développé des compétences distinctes de celles employées dans les ex-pays socialistes. Le transfert de compétences et de connaissances vers les filiales locales est susceptible de représenter un avantage compétitif pour l’entreprise multinationale. Cependant, ce transfert implique, pour les filiales locales, un changement culturel. Le changement culturel radical est difficile à mettre en place, car les individus perdraient toute référence culturelle nécessaire pour l’interprétation des événements et la construction commune de sens. Par conséquent, il se peut que plus le transfert de pratiques occidentales nécessite un changement radical des modes de travail, plus les employés locaux s’attachent à leurs pratiques professionnelles locales. Afin d’apporter des éclairages empiriques sur les tendances parallèles de convergence et de divergence de pratiques, nous avons effectué une étude qui compare les modes d’analyse du risque de 3 banques bulgares, 6 établissements français et 2 banques franco-bulgares. Nos résultats confirment l’hypothèse selon laquelle le degré de convergence de pratiques entre siège et filiale locale est modéré par le degré de changement culturel.
