Abstract

The success of any industrial enterprise is obviously dependent upon the effectiveness of its managerial organization and its supervisory personnel. There are differences in management in different industries and even within the same industry in a single country. And these managerial differences may be the single most important competitive difference. But, the differences may be even greater and more significant when comparisons are made on a cross-national basis. In Europe, for example, the concept of the function of management is quite different from that in the United States, as are the variances in the avenues of access to managerial positions.
