David Hanson

Managerial Cultures

A Comparative Historical Analysis

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

How did the conduct of business come to be so different in different countries? Why are some less developed countries in the process of rapid industrialization while so many others remain poor? This volume suggests some answers. Author David Hanson develops an analysis that focuses on governing elites, the need for security, and the search for status. His analysis rests on considerations of social structure, conflict, and psychology rather than on resources, markets and economics. The result is a book to offer international managers an understanding of history¿s critical role in fully understanding the societies in which they operate.
