From the Back Cover

Organisation and Management: An International Approach is an introduction to theories and modern practices in international business management and organisation. It reviews the practice of management at a time when a traditional domestic perspective alone is insufficient for businesses that wish to achieve and sustain success in an increasingly competitive global environment. The reader will learn about management and organisational practices of many industries operating in diverse countries, including: Argentina, China, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, United Kingdom, and the United States, among others.
This book is the international edition of the highly successful Dutch book Een praktijkgerichte benadering van Organisatie en Management and is written for students engaged in an introductory course in international organisation and management as part of their Bachelor or Master degree program. Furthermore, it can enhance management training programs and can also serve to increase a manager's on-the-job understanding and performance.
Organisation and Management is designed with a problem centered approach to learning and is supported by a website which provides an interactive and extended learning experience. The pedagogical approach has resulted in a modern and full colour book and stimulates self-study as well as learning in groups.
