RESEARCH FOCUS -
INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT
Introduction
This Research Focus topic is concerned with understanding
the similarities and differences encountered when working with other
nations. This Research Focus topic is applicable for any organisation, or
project, that has a significant involvement with organisations from
different nations. The topic is also useful for organisations, or
projects, which use a high proportion of foreign resources.
There is a need to understand how well organisations from
different nations are likely to work with each other. There is also a need
to identify any differences in the ways organisations from various nations
work. This Research Focus topic provides guidance and information on
identifying and resolving any differences that may be encountered.
With the continuing moves towards free trade between nations, such as within the European Union, there is a greater incentive for organisations
from different nations to work together. The current trend towards the merging of large international organisations also provides opportunities for different nations to work collaboratively in the new
organisations.
When organisations from different countries work together, the best parts of the nations and
their organisations can be used to achieve success. However, care needs to be taken to ensure that the participants work together in harmony.
Organisations considering becoming involved with
other nations should take advice on the most significant issues relating to the
nations and the way they work, as early as possible.
Migrators can provide consultancy, advice and, research in these areas, some of which are described below.
Additional information is also
