Managing and Organizing Multinational Corporations (1979, Hardcover)

Description: An ex-library book with stamps inside covers and along outer page edges, spine label, bar code sticker on back cover, pencil markings from library on title pages, and pocket with due date slip inside back cover. Pages are all crisp and clean with no other markings. Cover is in good condition, gold gilt lettering, very minimal fading. There are 5 separate pull-out sections of diagrams and graphs. The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with an insider's view of the management and organization of some of the world's leading MCNs. The materials are balanced to present MNCs whose headquarters are located in several nations. Comparisons can therefore be made along headquarters' organizations in the three continents and about parent-subsidiary relations in yet other locations. The corporations each reflect practices and methods that are common to their home country culture and environment. Yet they all demonstrate the significant adjustments that are made when their management and organization cross national boundaries. While the United States spread of MNCs has been perhaps the most extensive, European enterprise abroad has the longest history, and the Japanese experience demonstrates both the advantages and difficulties of the late starter. Despite differences in culture, experience, and extent of involvement, however, an underlying commonality can be seen in the issues that confront an in the fundamental management tools that are used to address them. The book is divided into three parts: MNCs based in the U.S., in Europe, and in Japan. Each part has three sections:(1)an introduction outlines the materials and issues presented; (2)a series of cases presenting actual problems of management and organization in several MNCs; and (3)a selection of readings that discuss the general issues raised by the cases. Most of the cases use the actual company names, and all are real situations and organizations.
