MGMT 495/550 - International Management

Includes a dozen case studies.

With contributions from an international team of scholars, this book reviews, analyzes, and integrates available theory and research to give the best information possible concerning the role of culture and cultural differences in organizational dynamics.

Defined as an approach which necessitates looking at business as a whole entity instead of only at the divisional level, Business Performance Management (BPM) entails reviewing overall business performance to determine how an organization can better reach its goals.

What may be acceptable managerial behaviour in one culture may be counterproductive or even unacceptable in another. As managers increasingly find themselves working across cultures, the need to understand these differences has become increasingly important. This book summarizes and integrates the lessons learned in each chapter in applications-oriented 'Manager's Notebooks.'
