This book re-examines management theory `after Globalization′. Combining key names and studies from across the world, it explores the local realities that resist universal theories and that permeate the daily lives of practising managers.
The book provides a comprehensive and critical reflection on the widely documented phenomenon of globalization in business. It assesses the implications of the diversity of individual economies and enterprises for general theories of management and concludes by presenting new approaches to the study and research of management and organizations.
