Book Synopsis Cross-Cultural Management by : Jean-François Chanlat
Download or read book Cross-Cultural Management written by Jean-François Chanlat and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-24 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All cultures appear to share the belief that they do things ‘correctly’, while others, until proven otherwise, are assumed to be ignorant or barbaric. When people from different cultures work together and cannot take shared meanings for granted, managers face serious challenges. An individual’s parsing of an experience and its meaning may vary according to several cultural scales – national, professional, industrial and local. Awareness of cultural differences and the willingness to view them as a positive are therefore crucial assets. This edited textbook sets itself apart from existing cross-cultural management texts by highlighting to the reader the need to avoid both ethnocentrism and the belief in the universality of his or her own values and ways of thinking: the success of international negotiations and intercultural management depends on such openness and acceptance of real differences. It encourages the development of ‘nomadic intelligence’ and the creative use of a culture’s resources, according to a symbolic anthropology perspective. Through the essays and case studies in the chapters, readers will become aware of the intercultural dimension of business activities and better understand how they affect work. Cross-Cultural Management will help interested parties – students of business management, international relations and other disciplines, and business managers and other professionals – develop their ability to interact, take action and give direction in an intercultural context.

Detailed information is provided on the signaling value of different management standards and on the new ISO standards for management systems, such as ISO 50001 and ISO 45001, relating to energy management and occupational health and safety. The role of audits in ensuring compliance with the standards and achievement of objectives is also carefully considered. The volume examines avenues for further research and emerging challenges. In offering an integrated, holistic perspective on ISO management system standards, this book will have wide appeal for academics, public decision-makers, and practitioners in the field of quality and environmental management.

Book Synopsis Open Internationalization Strategy by : Nadine Tournois
Download or read book Open Internationalization Strategy written by Nadine Tournois and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-02-22 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open internationalization is a concept that brings a new perspective on the process of firm internationalization. As theories of internationalization show, some companies expand abroad only on their own, known as closed internationalization, while others combine their resources with those of other firms or use their networks for facilitating foreign implantation, known as open internationalization. Parallel to the development of the well-known concept of open innovation, open internationalization can be conceived as a meta-model for understanding companies’ expansion abroad. This book gathers a selection of contemporary research works dedicated to open internationalization, either seen as a way to analyze expansion in foreign countries, or as a way to investigate the management of geographically dispersed activities. All the authors of the chapters are researchers specialized in the internationalization field. Readers will benefit from this new lens for understanding, studying or practising international business, from the decision to go abroad to its implementation and its efficiency. Open Internationalization Strategy includes both academic empirical investigations and literature reviews on specific topics, making it valuable to researchers, academics, managers, and students in the fields of business and management history, international business, organizational studies, and economics.
Book Synopsis Internationalization and Organizations by : Eric Davoine
Download or read book Internationalization and Organizations written by Eric Davoine and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-05 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To fill in the gap in theoretical and empirical aspects in the existing international management literature, the book covers a broad variety of issues relating to the challenges facing companies after the recent worldwide crises of financial, sanitary, and geopolitical nature. The book offers an overview of these challenges along three axes: the challenges related to the processes of adapting to the international environment, the challenges affecting the actors of internationalization, and finally the challenges related to the specifics of the international context. The book aims to offer a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical and practical attributes related to the adaptation processes in international business, the cultural evolutions of actors, and the changes in the international environment. It also seeks to help managers and scholars alike to better understand the new challenges in diverse aspects pertaining to international management. To cover these issues, the book addresses topics, which up till now have not been investigated in depth or have not been researched at all. It includes both theoretical and managerial viewpoints and various international examples.

Book Synopsis Social Stakes of Privatizations in Cameroon by : Hermann-Habib Kibangou
Download or read book Social Stakes of Privatizations in Cameroon written by Hermann-Habib Kibangou and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The devaluation of the CFA franc and the early 90s mark the second wave of privatizations recommended by international financial institutions. The transition from a system of “social goals” to that of private capital becomes more and more evident. From the peoples’ point of view, the ongoing reforms imposed from outside often do not take into account the specific situation of each country. Therefore, the question posed by privatization is: how can a government conciliate the need to privatize a public company with that of the consideration of the claims of the people? This is the fundamental question behind this thinking. We chose as example the case of the Cameroon Development Corporation (Cdc). This is justified by the fact that, as announced more than ten years earlier, privatization drags on, though it (Cdc) appears third on the list of fifteen public companies and parastatals to be privatized. After choosing to sell its four branches separately (banana, tea, rubber, palm oil), the Cameroonian government succeeded in October 2002 to sell the tea industry to the South African group Brobon Finex, which created the Cameroon Tea Estates (Cte). This is, to date, the only branch privatized. With its 13,000 employees, the first agro-industrial company in Cameroon, also first employer after the State, is a major stake. Also, the planned dismantling raises much concern. Our intention is to see how far and to what extent African states in general, and the Cameroonian State in particular, may accept the collaboration with representatives of the civil society in the game and the stakes of privatization policies, in the search for a social compromise.

Download or read book Justice et sorcellerie written by and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2006 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage, fruit d'un colloque, est unique en son genre. Des livres et des articles ont bien été publiés sur les procès intentés aujourd'hui en Afrique contre ceux qui pratiquent la sorcellerie maléfique mais aucun colloque international - c'est-à-dire une rencontre officielle et publique - n'avait encore été tenu sur le sujet. Et qui plus est au Cameroun, où ces questions ne sont traitées qu'à mots feutrés. Et dans le contexte chrétien de l'Université catholique d'Afrique centrale (UCAC). Pour que cet événement puisse avoir lieu, il fallait que la question soit à la fois brûlante - des procès par dizaines -, partagée par l'ensemble de la société et sans réponse satisfaisante. Sur quelles preuves, en effet, les magistrats pouvaient-ils se baser pour juger, à partir de la Loi moderne, de la culpabilité ou de l'innocence d'une personne accusée de pratiquer la sorcellerie, un phénomène essentiellement occulte ? Ce qu'on appelle couramment Sorcellerie fait partie, en réalité, d'un système vieux comme le monde qui comporte un versant maléfique et un versant bénéfique ou contre-sorcellerie : une stratégie que se sont donnée les hommes pour gérer avec réalisme la menace permanente du pouvoir de nuire présent en eux. La persistance des phénomènes maléfiques de sorcellerie, et même leur augmentation dans la société moderne, montrent la relative incapacité des institutions concernées - en particulier de la Justice - à proposer aux populations le moyen de régler leurs conflits par des moyens légaux. Un grand afflux d'auditeurs a fait de ces trois jours de rencontre une tribune où les conférenciers, magistrats ou universitaires pour la plupart, ont dû faire face à de vives réactions, ce qui a donné à l'ensemble un caractère imprévisible, chose rare dans un colloque international.
Book Synopsis Cross-Cultural Management Revisited by : Philippe d'Iribarne
Download or read book Cross-Cultural Management Revisited written by Philippe d'Iribarne and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-04 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on thirty years of empirical research, this book reveals the diversity of managerial practices that may be observed throughout the world, even in places where companies are using management methods that appear identical. Using data from over fifty countries, it presents a new theoretical approach to cultural diversity whereby culture is considered a filter through which people understand reality and give it meaning. This interpretative perspective reminds us that interactions within organizational contexts are primarily social, and thus conceived differently from one culture to another. This is fundamental to our understanding of the challenges of globalization and the powerful forces that foster the international homogenization of management practices. Leadership, decision-making, customer relations, ethics and corporate social responsibility, and interpersonal and corporate communication are just some aspects of management underpinned and influenced by cultural variation. In response to this intellectual and practical challenge this book provides methodological guidelines to enable researchers and practitioners to engage in an alternative approach to cross-cultural management.
