Abstract
The present study examined different methods for clustering of nations. Organizational attitudes and perceptions of 1,768 managers from 15 Western nations employed by a multinational corporation were surveyed. Divergent results were found and are discussed in terms of reconciling these differences, the need for additional research comparing competitive and alternative interpretations of Smallest Space Analysis (SSA), and the use of independent methods (e.g., cluster analysis).
