Abstract: Abstract There are two major reasons for being interested in national differences in management. One is to learn from others, particularly from more successful foreign competitors. The other is to understand how to work effectively with people from other countries. Chapter 6 discusses what research can tell us that can help us to understand and to learn from national differences. ‘Globalization’ is the word now used to describe the growing internationalization of business. Companies that have the skills to operate successfully round the world will have an advantage over purely domestic firms, except for those catering for specialist local markets. Increasingly, therefore, managers have to learn how to operate effectively in other countries and with other nationalities in their own country.
