From the Paper:

"Since Global Energy is a multi-national enterprise (MNE), it must consider the development of its corporate culture with respect to this may, or may not, impact is Indonesian operations. While it is important for Global Energy to consider the cultural dimensions of its new operational market, it is just as important, if not more important, to preserve and evolve its own corporate culture or risk a complete breakdown in business continuity. An example of the effectiveness of intentionally developing a corporate culture to facilitate market performance is the best way to illustrate how corporate culture matters and that there is an ideal paradigm of culture that can be blue-printed and modeled.
