His publications include research on organizational contexts in Latin America, Africa, Middle East, North Africa and Europe.

With his numerous books and about 100 articles and chapters in French, English, German, Chinese, Swedish, Arabic, Dutch, Vietnamese and Japanese, Philippe d’Iribarne is one of the ‘grand old men’ in the research on organizations, management and culture.

In his latest book, Managing Corporate Values in Diverse National Cultures, The Challenge of Differences (Routledge, 2012), he explores how a multinational firm, Lafarge, adapts its organizational culture to organizational contexts in China, the United States and Jordan.
