In recent years, globalization and the expansion of information
technologies have reshaped managerial practices, forcing
multinational firms to adjust business practices to different
environments and domestic companies to adjust to their foreign
competitors. In "International Differences in the Business
Practices and Productivity of Firms," a distinguished group of
contributors examines the phenomenon of widespread differences in
managerial practices across firms, establishments within firms, and
countries.
This volume brings together eight studies that combine
qualitative and quantitative insider analysis of business practices
such as the use of teams, incentive pay, lean manufacturing, and
quality control, revealing the elements that determine which
practices are adopted and why. "International Differences in the
Business Practices and Productivity of Firms" offers a much-needed
model for measuring the productivity and performance of
international firms in a fast-paced global economy.
