Management in Western Europe: Society, Culture and Organization in Twelve Nations (de Gruyter Studies in Organization, 47)

The succinct book gives an authoritative and uniquely comprehensive coverage of the style of management in each of the EC nations. The history, economic background, culture and approach to management in Belgium, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden (which replaces Luxemburg) are described. Most of the authors, themselves of many nationalities, gain perspective by writing about a nation other than their own. The book is ideal for students of management, organization theory and the social and political sciences, and to give background for students of languages. It is also designed for executives on short courses and for managers and engineers who need a quick international briefing on plane or train.
