  9. The International Manager IN RECENT YEARS, many companies have expanded globally. They have done this trough mergers, joint ventures and co-operation with foreign companies. Because of this globalisations trend, many more 5 employees are working abroad in managerial positions or as part of a multicultural team. although it is common nowadays for staff to work abroad ro gain experience, many people have difficilty adapting to the new culture. The failure rate in US 10 multinationals is estimated to be as high as 30% and it cosst US busines $3 billion a year. two typical failures have been described in the journal management today. The first example concerns a german manager with IBM who took up a position as 15 product manager in England. He found that at most lunchtimes and especially on fridays, many members of staff went to the pub. ‘I stopped that right away, he says, now they are not allowed off the premises. It didn’t make me very popular ar the time but it is not 20 good for efficiency. There is no way we would do that in germany. No way. the second example is about an American manager who come to france on a management assignment. He was unable to win the rust of his staff although he 25 tried all kinds of ways to do so. He set clear goals. Worked longer hours than everybody, partticipated in all the projects, visited people’s office and even took employees out to lunch one by one. But nothing seemed to work. This was because the staff believed 30 strongly that the management were trying to exploit them. the german manager’s mistake was that he hadn’t foreseen the culltural differences. IBM hed afirm rule. the american maneger used the ways he hes familiar with to gian the staff’strust..to them,he seemed more interesed in gitting the job done thanin devel 40 oping personal realitionship .by walking around and visiting everyone in their offices,parhaps he give the impresson thet he hes’cheking up’on staff. Hissmanagerial approach strengthened ther feeling of exploitation. whent managers work in foreign countries,they may find it difficult to understand the behaviour opf their employees.moreover, they may fine thet the techniques which worked at home are not effecve in their new wirkplace
