Over the past number of years, the ever increasing importance of globalization of business in the twentieth century has highlighted the need for a comprehensive reference source that looks at management in specific parts of the world, that is by regional area. The Regional Encyclopedia of Business and Management sets out to provide much needed guidance on the origins, scope and practice of international management in specific regional areas, covering not only general themes relevant to its functioning but also pertinent to specific countries.
Each volume consists of three parts, providing a consistent treatment of themes of general and specialist interest as well as specific country profiles.
Part 1 deals with general themes such as the overall state of management within the regions, as well as a discussion of the area
Part 2 covers specialized themes relevant to the region such as accounting, banking and finance, HRM, marketing, strategy and so on.
Part 3 consists of country profiles with definitions and analysis of management within each country. Each chapter includes coverage of the management traditions and culture and infrastructure and managerial styles of that particular country.
