Penguin Business: Exploring Management Across the World

Más información sobre el libro

Management everywhere is about using authority, competing, communicating and decision-making, yet societies tackle these and other core tasks in dozens of different ways. Working abroad, even negotiating with counterparts from abroad, leads to culture shock; it can only be overcome by sympathetic observation of oneself and others, buttressed by prior knowledge and understanding.This book, a companion volume to David Hickson and Derek Pugh's comprehensive Management Worldwide, contains selections from seminal writings on centralization, individualism, work relationships, power and risk among managers in countries and cultures all over the globe.Ideal for all students of business, marketing and management in the international field, the collection will prove equally valuable for managers facing the challenges of diversity in the real world.
