Design/methodology/approach: Interpretivist analysis of narratives have been collected by the authors by interviewing several Western managers in Russian subsidiaries, based on concepts of E.T. Hall. Findings: We globally found more examples of high context than low context, but also of "hybrid context, " as well as more examples of polychrony than monochrony, and a mixture of polychrony and monochrony, the authors call "hybridchronie."
