The diversification of direct investment flows and the rebalancing in favor of emerging markets increase the heterogeneity of environments faced by companies at the international scale. Thus comes back with strength the question of the need to take account of specific local conditions, even when the company seeks to promote a global approach of markets. Structures, organization, coordination and control mechanisms, as the article investigates, are considerably affected.

As early as the birth of Quebec literature as part of the configuration of the Quebec national identity, the relationship between the capture of the Self and the understanding of the Other formed the focus of most literary works. Today, with the emergence of migrant or new Quebecois writers (differentiated from native Quebecois writers), the Self and the Other become entangled in that their boundaries disappear in a new form of writing known as “migrant writing”. This article examines the depiction of identity in the first novel Kimchi by Ook Chung, a Quebecois writer originally from East-Asia. We first rely on the works by Charles Taylor and Paul Ricoeur on the concept of identity to study the dialectic between the Self and the Other in the main character's search for identity. Then, Chung's language is analysed from a cross-cultural standpoint according to the concept of “hybridity” coined by Homi Bhabha. Finally, we examine the role of art and writing in the construction of identity in Chung's novel.
