Abstract

A comparative study of German and British managers must start by deciding how they are to be compared. While there have been studies of managerial behaviour over a period of forty years1 there was no single model that we could adopt for making such a comparison. This made our task harder. We wanted to compare what our sample managers in the two countries were doing and how they were doing it. Unlike nearly all previous studies,2 we also wanted to try to understand why they were doing it.
