Abstract: Abstract Starting from descriptions of observed behaviour, we have offered a variety of explanations for the differences between British and German managers. These explanations have ranged from individual differences in function, career and educational background, to contextual differences in technology, management systems, organizational structure, and institutions. Having considered these, it makes it easier to explore the possible cultural explanations for the differences we found in managers’ views and behaviour.
