Management in France

Management in France Begins by analysing the nature of work relations in France.

Leads into an examination of the character and role of the cadre the manager, and of the relative professional status enjoyed by French managers. The discussion should be viewed from the viewpoint of HampdenTurner and Trompenaars' description of France as a fascinating country for Englishspeaking cultures to study but which may require the outsider to be prepared to question, even to confound, their own basic assumptions about the culture, role and practice of management. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Cross Cultural Management Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Begins by analysing the nature of work relations in France. These work relations can be categorized as relatively impersonal, formal, hierarchical, partitioned, subtly politicized and flexible and holistic. Leads into an examination of the character and role of the cadre the manager, and of the relative professional status enjoyed by French managers. The discussion should be viewed from the viewpoint of HampdenTurner and Trompenaars' description of France as a fascinating country for Englishspeaking cultures to study but which may require the outsider to be prepared to question, even to confound, their own basic assumptions about the culture, role and practice of management.
