Evaluation of a journal articleI. IntroductionThe essay aims to evaluate the journal written by Coen Heijes and express my personal interpretation of the article. The essay was divided into five sections. First of all, I would like to briefly describe the topic of the article and present the author's conclusions. Second, I would analyze the theory and literature review by evaluating the main theoretical framework. Next, the research design and methods will be discussed, followed by the results and conclusions presented by the author. Finally, personal implications would be brought. In my opinion, taking into account power dynamics while analyzing cross-cultural perception is a beneficial complement to the dimensional approach which is limited in international management research. Despite the lack of empirical research on the relationships between cross-cultural perception and power asymmetry in organizations, this article could serve as an important reference for further research.II. Description of the article under evaluation In this article, the author conducted research on cross-cultural perception and power dynamics in changing organizational and national contexts in Curaçao and the Netherlands. The essay is divided into seven parts. First of all, the author pointed out that more and more researchers felt that they should go beyond Hofstede's standard cultural dimensions when analyzing national cultures, because culture is not so much a fixed, coherent and systematic concept but rather dynamic and co-created. Therefore, the author elaborated on the interactions between culture and power and discussed the role of power and power differences in cross-cultural perception. Second, methodological triangulation was used among the IRS and police paper organizations in the Netherlands and Curaçao. The research findings were only a reflection within public service organizations and cannot indicate that similar conclusions would be drawn in business organizations. Furthermore, the study lacks empirical data on the relationship between cross-cultural perception and power asymmetry in organizations. Additionally, this study paper made me think about another case from the UK and HONG KONG, since the impact on cross-cultural perception would be more complex, not only considering power dynamics and imbalance powers due to the context of the Western social system based on Chinese culture. Overall, I benefited from the study on the influence of power dynamics on cross-cultural perception and it would be a good learning example for me to conduct research in the future..
