Abstract

The increasing multinationality of corporations results in more managers having work responsibilities that are internationally oriented. This fact has important implications for regional integration because managers with an international work orientation—versus domestic managers—tend to believe that their well-being is highly dependent upon developments outside their home country and that they stand to benefit from increased integration. This means, in turn, that they tend to be less nationally involved and also express favorable attitudes regarding economic integration in Western Europe. Such managers also disproportionately recommend integrative corporate policies for their company regarding personnel, marketing, and finance questions. Finally, these same international managers exhibit greater career success.
