“I am Evert Van de Vliert from Groot Donkelaar in Woudenberg in Utrecht in the Netherlands in Europe in the World.” Every child discovers that each environment is nested inside a wider environment, like a set of Russian dolls. Why, then, do scholars disregard their childhood discovery by no longer unpeeling environments layer by layer before they reach the layer of climate? Potentially short-sighted insights are the result, also in the organizational sciences. My aim in this book is to present a longer sighted view of the so-far neglected impact of climate and financial compensation of climate on the survival function of work in organizations. In the preceding chapters, working for money or for achievement and endorsing autocratic or democratic organizational leadership have already been insightfully related to climate and cash, and to the inherent gratification of survival needs. Climato-economically anchored differences in how organizations are shaped would link up logically with such findings.

Globalization in the form of a worldwide tendency toward uniformization of culture in organizational settings is here to stay. Nonetheless, a growing number of cross-national differences in organizational structures and strategies is lining up before the doors of science, each ignorantly waiting to perhaps be declared a distant descendant of climate and cash.
