Challenges for European Management in a Global Context : Experiences from Britain and Germany

This book provides cutting edge research and knowledge and an academic study of the impact of globalization in different areas affecting management and how management is responding. It gives a comprehensive analysis of what is actually happening and likely future trends. It is not just a focus on "convergence" arguments, but integrates a broader view of still remaining regional and national differences in management and organization. The book draws on new theoretical approaches in the field of international business, highlighting areas such as Anglo-German subsidiaries of MNCs, HRM practices and change management processes or employment relations in US-based MNCs in Europe and many other aspects.

Mike Geppert, Dirk Matten and Karen Williams are all at the European Business Management School, University of Wales, Swansea.
