_Cross-cultural management scholars sometimes aren’t the most up to date when it comes to theories in the wider social sciences. This isn’t simply when the most tenacious still hang on to Hofstede’s purported ‘paradigm’ of cultural dimensions – perhaps a reason why social scientists often do not take us management scholars seriously. Postcolonial theory has been coming under criticism for some time. Yet critical cross-cultural management scholars can still be seen clinging to an idea of postcolonialism that may now be past its due date. _
