Abstract

With businesses steadily increasing their international exposure and interaction, the past decade has seen an unparalleled interest in the cross-cultural aspects of management. Multinational and transnational firms are rapidly becoming the norm, bringing to the forefront a myriad of organizational and management issues ranging from international human-resource management practices to governance and control, from multinational organizational structures to managing cultural diversity. The international context is reflected in attempts by many management schools to “internationalize” their faculties and curricula, as well as in the increasing emphasis on cross-cultural management studies in both theoretical and practical arenas. It is against this emergent backdrop of concerns that the recent spate of cross-cultural management studies was initiated.2
